5k-a-day monthly update – January

January update

Distance – 207.4k
Distance remaining – 1,617.6k

I’ve reached the end of the first month and am feeling good! In January I ran 36 times and reached the Strava January Running Challenge target of 200k. I wasn’t quite up to the standard of Dirceu Busmayer who clocked in a whopping 1,480k this month. I think he must be running in his sleep!

The biggest challenge so far has been running when it’s icy. Followed closely by getting up early to run before work. I could run when I get home from work but I’d much rather relax instead. I also have the option of fitting in runs at lunchtime too, so there’s plenty of flexibility.
