5k a day December Challenge

Discussion

Anybody up for a challenge to end this year? I want to try to run 5km every day starting 1 December, until December 31st.

Who want to help keep each other motivated ? Who's with me?

Great to see so many of you want to join in!

I found a challenge on strava for this: Strava December 5k that was just one 5k not a daily.

I'll be doing my first run tonight (its 8 in the morning now where i live) and post back here.

I created a Strava club. Hopefully, we can share our runs there. Strava December 5k

​ I will be adding my daily distance and times in the table below.

  • Day 1 - I just finished day one! Unfortunately, my watch was done before I was, so I didn't get all of it on Strava. Luckily google fit still measured my distance on my phone. ​
  • Day2 - Finished! ​
  • Day3 - It was a long day today (trouble getting home from work with public transport), but I still managed to do my 5k today :) ​
  • Day 8 - My shins are starting to really hurt, had to stop a few times to stretch, but I did make it. It kinda strange that the measured distance even though I ran the same route nearly every day (except for day 5).
  • Day 10 - Just completed my run for today, realized we are almost 1/3th into the month already! ​
