5k-a-day monthly update updates

5k-a-day monthly update – June

Distance – 145.6k

June was dedicated to recovering from the injuries I picked up after the Liverpool Rock n Roll Marathon last month.

I started the month taking 7 days out from running and I walked 5k-a-day instead. This was just the break I needed to allow my ankle and groin strain to heal.

I didn’t count these walks towards my running total because I wasn’t running, which is why my monthly total is lower than the 200km I’d normally be logging each month.

This month I’ve had no races, smashed no PBs, and run fewer miles than normal. But I’ve been much happier in myself, building my fitness levels up and getting back to the stage where I’m enjoying running again.

2nd June also saw the launch of The Mystery junior parkrun. I’m on the core team and have been there from Week 1. And I was proud to do my first stint as Run Director on Sunday 30th June.

My fundraising total is up to £1099.48 which is 60% of my target.
