September exercise report

I spent nearly half of my September over in wonderful Portugal (tail end of August too). So lots of exercising sorta happened in & around exploring. I hadn’t been off the UK for over 18 months so felt incredible to be out on an adventure again.

Adeus 🇵🇹. Had a fabulous time. Loved the port, enjoyed the train adventures, loved the running in sunshine and learning about your past. We shall meet again. pic.twitter.com/059j64Z4BG

Context

I didn’t really count walks around Portugal in this although they obviously are exercise-like. I did many steps but kinda in spurts so did not meet my original criteria. Arguably these numbers are a bit lower than reality.

Activities

This is what I did…

What activities?

This month included:

36 total activities in 30 days. Down from last month but that was a banner month. More than 1 activity per day ain’t terrible.

Totals & averages

Exercising:

• total miles: 129.36 miles. Less than the 231.58 miles last month but far less cycling which inflates the number.
• in 2021 I have now racked up over 1402.51 miles.

Time:

• total time taken: 32 hours. Down 4 hours from last month. Let’s say that 4 hours was off exploring
• average exercise time: 53 minutes, not far off last month’s 56 minutes.

What else?

Facts and figures:

• longest distance was a 12.65 mile run. Not far off the distance needed for upcoming half marathon
• lowest distance was a 2.05 mile walk
• fastest run was at the 8 mins per mile mark. Acceptable.

Perspective

So energising to be away. Not all of 2020-21 has been tippity top so very very very wonderful to be away.

Decent spot for some morning yoga. pic.twitter.com/n05rEj2Fpd
