The end, and some stats

So, a nostalgic 4 mile run around my former neighbourhood in Edinburgh on 29th December brought my 2010 challenge to an end, and brought my total for the year to 829.29 miles.




A big thank you to my wife Sophie and her sister and brother-in-law for sharing so many of this year's runs, and for helping to keep my enthusiasm high. While we seldom run alongside each other, we often start and finish our runs together, and they've probably run as far, if not further than me.




Thanks also to those people who sponsored me for the BUPA 10000 back in May - I really appreciate your support, as do the Cure Parkinson's Trust.


Finally, some stats on this year's running:


Total miles: 829.29 (2009: 601)
Number of runs: 168 (2009: 167)
Average run distance: 4.97 miles (2009: 3.6 miles)
Total time running: 5 days, 13 hours, 32 minutes, 43 seconds (2009: 97 hours, 43 minutes, 43 seconds)
Average time per mile: 9 minutes 40 seconds (2009: 9 minutes 44 seconds)
Longest run: 13.1 miles (2009: 12.06 miles)

And a few graphs:


Next stop 1000 miles !



Not sure this graphs shows much except that signing up for half marathons makes you run further !



Pretty consistent pace, with a few slower runs due to weather / keeping people company.




Pretty consistent running all year, with the exception of June when we were on holiday in Greece and it was too hot to do much but lie by the sea (or in it).



Generally running further on each trip than in 2009.


Averaging around 5 miles per run.

So, what now?

Answer: The marathon challenge !
