Running log

Weekly runs

I run 2–4 miles most weeks. I track it here against the World Health Organization's adult activity guideline — 150–300 minutes of moderate or 75–150 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week. Running is vigorous, so each week is scored against the 75-minute vigorous floor (reaching the 150-minute mark is the upper end of the recommended range).

What this number is — and isn't. Large cohort studies associate meeting the activity guideline with lower all-cause mortality and lower risk of several cancers at the population level. That is an association across millions of people, not a measurement of anything happening in one body. So this log reports guideline coverage — the share of the recommended weekly activity I actually hit — and never a personal "risk reduced" or "tumors prevented" figure, because no honest method produces such a number for an individual. The science behind that choice is in the running lane of the writing.
Where these numbers come from. Every run below is a real, verified run — backfilled from the Strava share cards I've posted publicly (each row links to its source). A card proves the run happened; it doesn't prove it was the only run that week. Treat each week as the verified minimum, not a complete training diary. New weeks get logged directly from here on.
