My 2018 Running Stats

Hello there!  We are so close to saying goodbye to 2018.  It was another good year for me full of fun times with family and friends.

I like to look back and write about my running stats.  I like seeing how I did and think about what I want to change or do different next year.  In the summer I started working again with Mary Johnson.  I enjoy working with her and love her workouts.  Next year I will continue working with her but also want to add yoga and/or strength training.  I cannot decide whether to join LA Fitness, CorePower Yoga, or Fit-Results.  😛

For now let’s check out my stats:

⇒ I ran a total of 1,054.58 miles (87% of my goal).  Last year I ran 773.11 miles.  

⇒ Time spent running: 212:00:10 hours.  That’s about 8.83 days running in 2018! 

⇒ Number of races: 6.  See them here.  Next year I plan to run a few half marathons in various states and a few local races that I do every year.

⇒ PRs set: 0.

⇒ Lowest mileage month: December with 45.37 miles.  Last year February was my lowest with 7.07 miles.

⇒ Highest mileage month: March with 121.43 miles.  Last year July was my highest with 122.12 miles.

⇒ Average pace over the course of the year: 12:06.  Interesting that last year it was 11:56.  Not sure what happened here?

⇒ Average cadence: 162.  Last year it was 158.

⇒ Shoes: Most of my runs were in the Brooks Launch 4 and 5.  But I also did a few runs in the Levitate 1 and 2, Ricochet, Asteria, and PureFlow 7.  The Launch is still my favorite running shoe.  Currently I have the Launch, Levitate 1 and the Ghost 11 in my rotation.  I also have a few more pairs of the Launch 5 in boxes.  

⇒ EXTRA:  I started running in 2005 but began recording (in an Excel sheet and now a Google sheet) my mileage in 2007.  So in 12 years I’ve run 9,959.47 miles.  Only 4 years (2013, 2014, 2016, and 2018) did I run over 1,000 miles.

How was YOUR year?
