Back to (an achey) five miles this morning on my normal circuitous route around Streatham and not one thing of interest happened on the way and not one bit of inspiration comes on what to write!
The solution? Revert to a stats round up to fill in some blog space. So…
I have now been running for 327 days – the same length as the 1948 Soviet blockade of Berlin and the reign of Edward VIII who abdicated the British crown in favour of his lover Wallis Simpson in 1936.
I have covered 1,343.75 miles. According to Google, it is the equivalent of travelling from Auburn in Maine to Sarasota in Florida, almost the length of the US’s Eastern Seaboard.
I prefer using the brilliant www.sizeofwales.co.uk that allows you to input any data and find a comparison that is easier for people to visualise (it’s a great tool if you are a newspaper sub editor).
According to them, I have ran 225,134 times the length of a London Double Decker, gone 11 times round the M25 (who thought it was so long?) or a tenth of the Great Wall of China!
It’s an average of 4.1 miles a day (or the equivalent of running the Humber Bridge three times every day).
I run at an average pace of around nine minutes a mile… I have been running for 12,000 minutes or 200 hours. If it takes 5minutes to medium boil an egg, I could have boiled 2,400 one after the other – eat your heart out Cool hand Luke.
My average training heartbeat is 140bpm so my heart has thumped a whopping 1.6million times on runs.
