February Monthly Summary!

Month 2 of 12 of the year of 2017 is done and for me I think I've maintained a decent start of the running year.



As I've said before, this year I've set myself a target of covering at least 650 miles (did about 5-hundred-and-something last year) meaning I need to be averaging 54 miles a month or roughly 14 miles a week.

Well last month I hit the target!!

I ran a grand total of 71.4 miles (including 0.6 strava has yet to acknowledge as it crashed yesterday), DOWN from 78.5 in January. 

This total included 1 very snowy parkrun (4% of the total) but no races, I'll make up for that next month! 



My longest single run was a decent 18.8 miles (26% of my total). A quarter of the total is stilla  bit much for a single run...

Up and down month, felt like I was running well, then sickness strikes and the last full week of the month is a write off, otherwise I'd image I'd be 80+ miles and a best month of the year. Can't help being ill though, I just need to get over it and realise that 71 miles is still a decent effort.

So far (all in miles)...

23%

149.9 isn't annoying at all. If I'd seen that sooner I'd have gone round the block...

Still ahead of the calendar progression for my progression (17% against 23%) so I think I'm ok. Still considering the Great Welsh Marathon, so if I do sign up the increase in mileage for that should keep me up there!

Let's do this 2017... or something motivational.
