Way over due, I know… If August was the most grueling month of running, for non-running reasons, then September has been the most grueling month for running-related reasons. Actually, it wasn’t so much that it was grueling as it was time consuming, and challenging, as I hit the meat of my training for my 2nd half marathon.
Since this report is so late, I’ll just get on with the details:
I ran 24 of 30 days in the month, with my highest mileage ever for a single month (by 25 miles), and most time spent running (by 3:53:01). September was my 3rd month of 150+ miles, the first of 160+ miles, and the first of 170+ miles. It was also the 14th consecutive month over 100 miles.
Here’s a breakdown of my runs for the month:
* I started tracking warm up and warm down miles that were part of a tempo or interval workout separately from the actual tempo or interval workout.
** My longest run ever.
