One year of Runkeeper

Just noticed that earlier this month I passed the 1 year mark of using Runkeeper to track my walking and running.

I think I’ve made pretty good progress in the past year. I’m not out to set any records or do marathons or anything like that. My goal is just to stay active and keep myself at a comfortable weight, which I’m mostly at. Except for the summer heat putting a damper on the running I’m pretty pleased with the way my running has been.

Over the past year I’ve gone from barely being able to run 2.5km non-stop at a slow 7+ min/km pace to my longest run of 12km at a 6:00 min/km pace and doing 100 km/month. That didn’t last long once summer hit unfortunately, but now that the weather is cooler I’ll be logging more miles on the road.

Since using Runkeeper to track things, I’ve logged 125 activities, 581km of running and walking and burned over 49k calories.

Go me!
