When I go on a holiday, I always try to explore the surrounding areas during my daily runs. I recently visited Lake Conjola with the family and ran to various locations. On my 10 KM run, I actually ended up running on Buckleys Pt Trail which leads to Buckleys Beach. On this trail, I ended […]
Wow, how time flies so fast. It’s been 3 years since I started running at least 5 KM per day. You can read my full journey here: RUNNING EVERY DAY This year had its challenges as I caught COVID but still managed to run. I just had very mild symptoms. What I learn through this […]
Today, I’ve reached another milestone in my running journey. It’s the 1000th day I’ve been running 5 KM per day – I haven’t missed a day and yes I’ve also been running in the rain! Running every day has become one of my daily habits and every day after the run I feel as though […]
Yes, I caught COVID last month and hence the reason why I’ve been fairly quiet on my website. I generally try to aim to write at least once a week but last month I was fairly busy with TAFE, University Assignments and just dealing with COVID. My daughter was the first one in the family […]
As part of my running journey, I have decided to do more uphill runs. On my daily 5KM runs there is a small hill that I normally run and the grade is 12% for around 100 metres. I don’t find the hill too hard to run but a few weeks ago there was someone that […]
On the 14th of October 2021, I hit another running milestone. I managed to run at least 5 KM every day for 2 years – that’s 731 days since I first started the running streak. I’ve remained consistent and for 1 year I ran at least 10 KM every Saturday. I did also run the […]
Firstly, let me clarify what I meant by the title of this article. Let me clear things up by clearly stating that I was technically a participant in the Guinness World Record for Most users to complete a remote 10 km in 24 hours and I’m not sure if it’s even an official record yet. This event was organised by Virtual […]
Yesterday, the NSW government announced stricter COVID-19 rules regarding wearing masks when outdoors and today I decided to run my daily 5KM with a face mask. Since cases of COVID-19 in NSW has been increasing in some of the Local Government Areas (LGAs) the state government has implemented stricter rules to avoid the spread of […]
Are you stuck at home and can’t get to the gym? Did you know you can do daily workout exercises at home or outdoors? Did you know that exercising is not only good for your body but your mind as well? Working out can help your brain stay clear and focused, lower your stress levels, […]
It’s been 1.5 years of running 5 KM per day. During this process, I learnt a few things about myself and about the mentality one needs to keep running 5 KM per day. I wanted to share these with you and put some of my thoughts into this article. Firstly, if you haven’t read some […]
It has been over 500 days since I started the 5 kilometre per day challenge and it’s been going well. I only have slight pain on the side of my left leg. It’s a bit sore but besides that, I’m still doing it – running 5km every day and on a Saturday I run 10 […]
I made it everyone! I’ve run at least 5 KM per day for the past 365 days. What a journey it’s been and will continue to be. Some of my friends have asked me whether I will stop when I hit 365 days and I honestly don’t know. Since I have formed this good habit […]
I’ve lost count of how many days I’ve been running at least 5 KM per day. After doing some calculations, I worked out that I hit the 300-day mark on the 9th of August without even realising. Ever since Strava decided to remove the weekly summary feature on the free plan, I haven’t been able […]
I hit another milestone and managed to run at least 5KM per day for 200 days. You can read my other posts here: 5KM FOR 30 CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF RUNNING or RUNNING 100 DAYS 5KM PER DAY – THE ENTREPRENEUR MINDSET How is my body feeling? My body is feeling fine and strong. It’s not […]
Do you use a running belt? Hate it how the belt bounces up and down and it makes the belt lose? Do you have to tighten it several times during your run? I’ve had this happened to me a few times and I finally managed to find a belt that pretty much stopped the bouncing […]
Here’s a summary of what I’ve learnt from running at least 5 km per day for 100 days and how it relates to an entrepreneurs mindset. What started this journey was not planned at all. In the past few years, I’ve been running on a regular basis (maybe 1-3 times a week) and near the […]
I just noticed that I’ve hit the 1000km mark milestone. I don’t believe I’ve ever hit this mark in the past and I do hope I can continue this next year. I keep reminding myself that the World Health Organisation recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week – so that’s what […]
Today marks the 30th day of running at least 5km per day! I ran a total of 149.7kms. I decided to see how my body will respond when running at least 5km each day and yes it’s a bit crazy. I have been running the occasional 1-3 runs a week but never consecutively for 30 […]
I’m not sure if this is the best way to Synch your runs from Samsung Health (I use a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier) to Strava but it seemed to have worked. I was originally synching the data between Google Fit and Strava since the runs synched between Google Fit and Samsung Health but there were […]
Yes, I still go to the gym. When I recently visited the gym I had to take this photo of a dumbbell. Now I know what’s in a dumbbell – just raw metal. Also this week, I ended up attending a workout class called “Cardio Burst”. From the name you can tell there were cardio […]
