11 AM

Running 34:06 [3] 5.69 km (6:00 / km) +197m 5:07 / km
ahr:145 max:176 rhr:52 weight:75.8kg shoes: Inov8 Xtalons 212 15

To Scolty top the middle way. Loads of people. Trying to keep a high cadence up going downhill. Not sure I believe the max HR, which apparently occurred whilst coming downhill. Didn't notice it on the run and I had a high alert set to 150, so the highest I saw was 154.

Scolty 5k loop 1. HR Zone 2. Trying to consciously increase my stride length.
Max HR occurred when going uphill near the end and having to jump off the path 3 times to get out the way of 2 mountain bikers and a dog. This is the trouble with exercising in Scolty at a weekend!

Note

So , my January experiment comes to an end, following a 2017 when I progressively was doing less running as the year went on, in part due to various minor ailments, most of which are now improved.

Inspired by others, I ran at least 5km a day for the whole of January: A total of 194km - which is actually my highest monthly total ever. I estimate about 80% of it has been aerobic running.

What have been the benefits to my health?
I've lost more than 1.5kg in weight, and for a given effort/pace, my heart rate has dropped by about 15 bpm. According to my Garmin (if I believe it) my VO2max has improved from 41 to 47, equivalent to about 6 minutes off a 10 km time.

Going forward, I'll probably struggle to run every single day, so will have a few more rest days, but also will try to add a few longer/faster runs into the schedule to mix it up more.
C • Good effort! 2
