90 Day Challenge Completed – 2015

The fact that i am writing this means i have completed the 90 day challenge, at the start of 2015 i decided to kick the year off with a challenge for January, this also included the infamous Dry January where no booze is drank… that was the easy bit, i also challenged myself to complete at least 1 mile of running every day for the full 31 days. I completed this and i have a post regarding this challenge here – https://vzilla.co.uk/1/post/2015/01/january-2015-challenge-completed.html

At the end of that first month i decided that i would carry this on and challenge myself for February as well as March although i kept that quiet until i completed the second month. and here we have it 90 days of running every single day. (here is the Feb completed post – https://vzilla.co.uk/1/post/2015/03/february-2015-challenge-completed.html)

The challenge for March was to complete at least 2 miles a day for the entire 31 days of the month. #2MileADayMarch15 was born and used throughout the month although not as much as during the other months as i was starting to feel i was annoying a lot of people on either Twitter or Facebook branding these runs on a daily basis.

Well i just about managed the above and below you will find the complete 90 day challenge pace and distance graph of what i achieved over the past 3 months.

Also below this you will see the month calendar outlining every single one of the runs i completed in March. I have to admit that during this month was the closest i became to quitting, mostly down to work and family commitments but as well as running this far on a daily basis and your body not really getting the recovery time required my body was struggling.

Challenge – Complete at least 2 miles a day in March, 31 days and a minimum target of 62 miles.

Challenge Completed – 31/03/2015

90 Days / 90 Workouts
172.9 Miles Covered
31.63 hours spent training

As i mentioned in the February completed post a lot of my inspiration throughout came from the Tom Mendoza video about setting goals etc, i have always been very good from a work perspective around setting training goals, exam etc etc but personally i have never completed or attempted anything like this before. I encourage everyone to watch that video from Tom it truly gives you some inspiration.

The experience of the 90 day challenge has been great, in myself i feel a lot healthier and fitter than before. i honestly never thought past the challenge in hand but truthfully i didn’t think i would complete the January challenge. I feel proud of myself for pushing through and making this life changing routine. for 25-30 minutes a day i have left the house in all sorts of weather and at all sorts of time but that 25 minutes has really helped so much i believe and something i will make sure i include in my life moving forward.

Here are the 3 months broken down into the weeks totals
