Continuing on the theme of yesterday, I’ve been running consistently a 5k every day. Always on the treadmill, generally I try to get the same treadmill just to be super sure. Every day I bump up the speed by 0.05 miles/hour. I started out at 5.8 miles/hour about a month ago; that’s a 32:10 5k pace and about 10:30/mile. I knew I could go faster than that, but that was the point; I wanted headroom to improve everyday. I’m honestly curious how fast I can get up to. I’m at 27:01 today, or a 8:41 pace. That’s nowhere near the fastest I’ve ever gone, which is down around 6:30 if I remember correctly. Every day I lose about 10-12 seconds off my pace, so that means that by New Years I would be down around my PR (If I ran every day). What’s important here though is just the consistency; so far in 26 days I’ve run 23 of them (I missed one day because I was just exhausted, and I missed 2 days because I was traveling and couldn’t find a gym easily).

Around about Christmas I’ll come back with an update.
