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 of getting up and going for a run, I might as well continue doing it and when I do need to take a break I can without feeling any regrets.
Here are some previous posts of this journey:
- 5KM RUNS FOR 30 CONSECUTIVE DAYS
- RUNNING 100 DAYS 5KM PER DAY – THE ENTREPRENEUR MINDSET
- 200 DAYS OF RUNNING STILL GOING
- 300 DAYS OF RUNNING
Here’s a quick video reflection during my run:
As mentioned in the video, there are 3 key areas that you need to do this 365 challenge:
- Dedication
- Persistence
- Strong mind
I’ve mentioned some of these in my previous posts so have a read when you have time. If you plan on doing a 365-day challenge, I would recommend you break it down to the following targets. So basically, aim to hit each milestone and don’t give up – that’s where the persistence will kick in:
- 7 days
- 30 days
- 100 days
- 200 days
- 300 days
- 365 days
Now, if you’re a beginner and haven’t been running frequently then I would suggest you run 2 KM 3-4 times a week with a rest day in between just so your body can get use to the running exercise.
From listening to a lot of podcasts, most of the successful people form good habits in the early stages of their lives and I wish I did this earlier. If you are deciding to start a 7-day or 30-day challenge, leave me a comment below to make yourself accountable and good luck.
