So , my January experiment comes to an end, following a 2017 when I progressively was doing less running as the year went on, in part due to various minor ailments, most of which are now improved.
Inspired by others, I ran at least 5km a day for the whole of January: A total of 194km - which is actually my highest monthly total ever. I estimate about 80% of it has been aerobic running.
What have been the benefits to my health?
I've lost more than 1.5kg in weight, and for a given effort/pace, my heart rate has dropped by about 15 bpm. According to my Garmin (if I believe it) my VO2max has improved from 41 to 47, equivalent to about 6 minutes off a 10 km time.
Going forward, I'll probably struggle to run every single day, so will have a few more rest days, but also will try to add a few longer/faster runs into the schedule to mix it up more.
