336km: A New Monthly Record (2 Comments)
Last month was a bumper month for running for me. Check it out...
336km of running in June 2012
If you add up all those numbers on the right, and subtract the 3 days' running from May, you get a nice round total of 336.30km. Now how's that for a lot of running in a single month.
Unlike my previous month, this month was pretty much exclusively running. I didn't do any dedicated weights sessions or swimming as I find both of these impact my running more than I'd like. I might bring those back during the winter months when I don't always want to head outside.
So not only did I run over 100km in a single week last month, I also set a new record for the highest mileage in a single month. Great stuff and best of all I felt pretty good all month with the exception of the end of last week when I was feeling a little tired from a couple of late nights and some tough racing. This MAF training is really working for me.
July won't be a bumper month as I've got a week's holiday booked, but I think it'll still be a big month as I plan to start squeezing in more of those 100+ kilometre weeks when I get back.

Hello Colin,
I've been reading most of your posts starting from the first 5 minutes on the treadmill all the way to this new achievement, and I have to say it's very encouraging for me to keep at it, running minimalist for the past two months now, very slowly building it up to a solid base.
Just want to say thanks and keep up the good posts! (and running of course...)
cheers,
Sven
Thanks Sven. Good to hear you're on the minimalist wagon. Keep it up. The rewards are well worth the effort.
