Vital Running Statistics

Do you ever keep a track record of your vital running statistics?. Now I know why, I have burned out several pairs of running shoes!.

The following running statistics was taken over a period of 89 weeks and measured by my Garmin running watch.

Hmmm, just think of those total calories burned  “260, 743 cal”. That must equate to a few take away - 1/4lb Cheese Burgers & Fry's !!!. Yum Yum.

Now let’s not get too serious here ! or, get too conscious !! about  running statistics. But I am sure that you would agree with me, that the Total Mileage, Time on your Feet and Total Calories Burned. All soon add up when pounding the trails & roads on a regular basis.
As a matter of discussion, I will touch on the subject of nutrition that works for me, when completing my long endurance runs. This will follow soon within my next few posts.
If you require any further information about any of the subjects or, running routes that I have covered within my blog. Then please do not hesitate to contact me by sending me a message to my Twitter account @enduranceruner.
