I’m going to start doing a brief monthly summary of my runs because I loves me some stats and it will help to make improvements, etc. easier to see.
In April I ran 10 times. I missed a full week of runs after hurting my back, otherwise I’d have had 13 runs. Showing nice progress, my fastest run was the most recent.
My slowest opening km was done on a run that was also my second fastest overall for the month, reinforcing that the key is to not have a fast start, but to find a good pace and stick to it.
Stats:
Total runs: 10
Fastest run: 5:13/km (April 30)
Slowest run: 5:59/km (April 16th — this was after a back injury 9 days prior and a 15 km hike the previous day)
Difference between average pace of fastest and slowest runs: 46 seconds/km
Fastest 1st km: 4:59/km (April 23)
Slowest 1st km: 5:17/km (April 4 and 27)
