May running summary

Here’s my running summary for the month of May, which I declare a Good Month™ for jogging.

Total runs: 12
Fastest run: 4:52/km (May 30th)
Slowest run: 5:20/km (May 20th)
Difference between average pace of fastest and slowest runs: 28 seconds/km
Fastest 1st km: 4:37/km (May 30th)
Slowest 1st km: 4:58 (May 2nd)

Total distance: 135.72 km
Average pace: 5:03/km

May vs. April:

Total runs: 12/10
Fastest run: 4:52/5:13
Slowest run: 5:20/5:59
Difference between average pace of fastest and slowest runs: 28/46 seconds
Fastest 1st km: 4:37/4:59/km
Slowest 1st km: 4:58/5:17/km

Total distance: 135.72/102.32
Average pace: 5:03/5:35/km

May was an improvement across the board and notable for finally breaking the 5:00 minute mark for average pace, getting in under 5:00 minutes on every first km, setting a new record for first km and getting in 12 runs vs. 10, though admittedly I was out for a week in April due to hurting my lower back. May was also the first full month wearing my new trail runners and have no doubt contributed positively to the results.

Onward to June!
