May 3rd 2021 Today I completed one entire year of running 5km every day. There was some {mostly internal) debate over whether — because 2020 was a leap year — day 365 or 366 would count as a full year, … Continue reading Entire
April 11th 2021 Today, on my 343rd day of running 5k every day, here’s a list of reasons why 343 is my favourite number. Fair warning, none of this is going to be interesting to anyone other than me, so feel free to skip this post and check back tomorrow. 343 is the only 3-digit cubic palindrome. This 5k every day thing, has me running 7 days a week, for 3 miles a day. 73 = 343. 343 is a nice Friedman number, meaning it can be expressed in an equation using all its own digits in order, in combination … Continue reading Cubic
November 1st 2020 Today I was so enjoying slip-sliding around an aging, autumnal forest on my run this morning, that I began to regret imposing this arbitrary distance restriction on myself. I’ve committed to running 5k every day, and so … Continue reading Arbitrary
October 6th 2020 Today the Cheltenham Harriers crashed my run and made me feel inferior as hell. Bastards. I’m 155 days into my streak of running 5k every day (which is like, quite impressive, right?) and this evening I was just running my route up to and around Pittville Park like I always do and suddenly literally a fucking hundred runners come speeding past me. I’m assuming it was the Cheltenham Harriers (which is a local athletics club, if that wasn’t obvious) because they’re all fast as fuck. There I was, running at my 5 min/km pace, and 100 of … Continue reading Harriers
October 2nd 2020 Today I bought a new pair of trainers for the sole reason of motivating me to go for a run. I finished work at like 5:30, and it was raining, and it was miserable, and my feet … Continue reading React
September 29th 2020 Today I’m in desperate need of a new pair of running trainers. For the first time in my now 149-day streak of running 5k every day, my feet are starting to hurt. It’s a dull ache on … Continue reading Trainers
September 21st 2020 Today I’m happy wth the new adaptation to my running regime. I’m still running 5k every day, but now I’m going to be doing maybe 3 of those runs a week with my boss. She’s looking to … Continue reading Regime
August 11th 2020 Today I ran a 5k for the 100th day in a row. I started this little fad in May, with the sole goal of getting to 21 days — because I swear by the ‘it takes 21 … Continue reading Century
August 5th 2020 Today I found it really strange how the time of day affects my run. I run the same 5k circuit every single day, and have done for 94 days now. For the first 70 or so of … Continue reading Circadian
