2018 Running Review

Not a bad year in running. Didn't get to do a lot of new events or break many records, but was able to run consistently for most of the year.

The totals:
  • 3065.56 kilometres
    • best 3120.94 kilometres
    • last 2192.18 kilometres
  • 232 hours
    • best 235 hours
    • last 168 hours

The major events for the year were:
  • January
    • Rosebud Australia Day Run - 10 km - 39:45 @ 4:00/km
  • April
    • Sri Chinmoy Williamstown - 10 km - 38:47 @ 3:54/km
    • Werribee Mansion - 10 km - 39:07 @ 3:55/km
  • May
    • Star Wars Run Singapore - 10 km - 42:22 @ 4:21/km (heat)
  • July
    • Sri Chinmoy Princes Park - 10 km - 38:50 @ 3:54/km
  • August
    • Townsville Running Festival - 10 km - 39:57 @ 3:56/km

The events were generally a bit better then last year when I was stuck above 4:00/km. Did not progress much during the year though except for Lara Fun Run, otherwise always about 3:55/km.

The other category of events are the parkruns:
  • 47 events
    • best 48 events
  • 18:16 at Lilydale Lake
    • best 18:15 at Jells (hills but possibly less than 5 kilometres)

The new parkrun events for the year were:
  • January
    • Gungahlin
    • Tuggeranong
  • February
    • Gardiners Creek
  • March
    • Ballarat

    • Taman Pudu Ulu (Malaysia)
  • August

I unofficially got a new parkrun PB but just missed 50 events, and went to exactly 10 new events.
