Christian Perrier: [life] [running] 2013 summary
Yet another yearly summary of my running activities. As I already
explained, now running took precedence over free software activities
as you'll notice below...
So, what happened on that front in 2013 for running bubulle?
I finally managed to run 4603 km during the year, which is 1700km more
than 2012. Definitively an explosion as I actually ran over 12.5km
every day.
I added to this 206km with my moutain bike, all of them achieved
during December while I was (and still am) suffering from an injury
(fatigue fracture).
These 4603km were covered in 458 hours, so a bit over 19 days running
and very very slightly over 10km/h.
- 2061 kilometers training on hard (and mostly flat) soil (road running). Mostly my daily commute runs.
- 1977 kilometers training on trail running (either in the country, woods, forests, or in moutains). Mostly my week-end (and holidays, and DebConf...) runs.
- 85 kilometers competition on roads (indeed own marathon and two half-marathons)
- 471 kilometers competition in trail running
- half-marathon personal best with 1h34' in September at Bois d'Arcy (down by 3 minutes)
- marathon personal best with 3h25'19" in October in Toulouse (down by 8 minutes)
- once again, great progress in my 3rd consecutive Le Puy-Firminy race which I ran in 7h15 instead of 8h22 last year. Same progress for 80km Ecotrail with 9h36 instead of 11h05 the year before
- four "ultra" races: 75km Saint lyon in December, by night, 70km Le Puy-Firminy in November, by night, 50km Cenis Trail in August (moutain race) and 80km Paris Ecotrail in March
- two "maratrails": Chamonix Marathon du Mont-Blanc, 42km, and Trail des Lavoirs in Chevreuse, 44km
- one marathon: Toulouse
- two 35km trail races
- two half-marathons
- three trail races around 20km.
- Paris 80km Ecotrail again in March. Followed, the next Sunday, by the Paris Marathon, which I'll run dressed as Spongebob...:-)
- Trail des Cerfs (50km trail race in Rambouillet Forest, close to my place), in May
- Montagn'hard 60 kilometers moutain trail race in French Alps (with 5000 meters positive climb), in July
- Courmayeur-Champeix-Chamonix, one of the 4 races of the Ultra Trail du Mont-Blanc week in Chamonix, in late August (yes, during DebConf 14!). 101km and 6100m positive climb. This is assuming that I'm lucky to get picked at the lottery (there are too many peopl who want to run this race). If I'm not....I'll probably pick another 100km moutain race somewhere in French Alps in late August
- Saint Urban Trail in October: a "trail" race over the hills of Saint- tienne, my birth city, for about 30 kilometers and 1000m positive climb (and gazillion of steps). Back to roots!
- Le Puy-Firminy 70km again in November. 4th time in a row. Will I again run it in one hour less than the year before? Probably hard to imagine.
- Origole trail race: one of the most difficult trail races in France : 75 kilometers and 2000m positive climb in Rambouillet Forest, close to Paris, by night. Usually incredibly muddy and cold.
