Today was the last longish run before the Ultra, an easy paced 10 mile run. The only other running I will be doing in the coming week will be a 3-4 mile run on Tuesday and a 2-3 mile run on Wednesday.
I was looking at some of the statistics that I have built up since I started running properly in Feb 2011 and thought I would share them with everyone, so here they are:
February 2011 to August 2012
Miles Run: 1280.02, that’s like going from Lands End to John o’Groats (838 miles on the roads) and still having enough to get back to London!!
Total Time: 205:05:24.74, or 8 and half days
Total Calories: 161740, or 330 Big Mac’s
Total Ascent: 71389..341 Meters, or the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest 8 times.
I am feeling ready for the challenge ahead and I think it has helped for my mental focus having the Olympics on, all those amazing people doing amazing things, you just can’t help but be influenced by them.

Good luck mate, you’re totally ready for this!
Thanks mate
Love the stats. Reframed in a meaningful way!
Yeah, I thought would try to get some context into the numbers as i think it can be quite hard sometimes to associate them to real life.
