June By the Numbers

Welcome to this month’s installment of By the Numbers, where I pull all the passive data I collect from my watch. I use the start of each month to look back, notice trends and make adjustments for the next month. Let’s get into it!

Steps: 372,632 or 12,421 per day.

Similar to my numbers from May, and about what I expected. Even on days I’m not running, I’m trying to get out and walk a lot and have been frantically trying to cram in some yard work most days too. Highest total in one day was 44,500 - after running 15ish miles up and down Mount Washington. Lowest day was on June 9th, only 5000! That was the day after MSD, and my legs were toast!

Sleep: 7 hours 40 minute average

This is way up!  I’ve been really focused on getting here by getting to bed early. Like the sun hasn’t even set yet early. The previous two months the average was 7 hours 12 minutes, so this was a significant improvement. More so, I also got 8+ hours of sleep 12 nights out of the month! I only got it twice in June. Needless to say, I’m feeling good.

Workouts: 25

Basically I only ran last month. I did a handful of kettlebell workouts, and a couple sandbag workouts, but otherwise stayed away from barbells and focused on building running volume. I accumulated 68 miles for an average of 17 miles per week or 2.3 miles per day. I took 3 days off going into Mount Washington, and a few days on the other side too. I’ve found for me that more miles isn’t necessarily better for me, so I don’t know how much that monthly total will climb.

I hope this inspires you to look back and check in on any health/fitness/lifestyle data that you are collecting. See if you notice any trends, or come up with some ideas on how to adjust things for this month.
