Wonder what this might look like near the end of the year

1st long run of the year went extremely well

Ran at a faster than normal pace, was challenging last 20 mins as I had to try push myself to sustain the effort and pace till the end

Average pace at 6:50/km

Guess this is what it might take to get times I want

1st week back in running and I am definitely feeling the effects of my week long break, I do find that I am limited by my muscular endurance in my legs as I can’t sustain the efforts and paces I want despite my breathing not being an issue

Hmm so the S&P 500 earnings yield is currently 3.37% while the US 10Y Treasury bond rate are currently at 4.62%, so stocks looking overvalued relative to bonds imo

Think best for me to just focus on studying the companies I have and prep for future opportunities and just save up my cash

2025 Plan:
- Plan next month’s training a month before
- adjust training based on how I feel on the day
- Incorporate threshold runs and threshold intervals
- incorporate workouts at 5K effort
- decrease rest between reps and increase distance per rep over time
- alternate between workout types

2025 goals:
- Get to $10,000
- Get to $12,000
- Beat the market (hopefully)

2025 plan:
- Don’t add any more companies
- Fully assess the ones I have through reading Quarterly filings and annual reports
- only buy more if under 100 EMA and/or under intrinsic value
- DCA into SCHG, VXUS, SCHD monthly

2024 definitely has been an amazing year financially for me too

In my brokerage account, gains and deposits (mostly deposits) have allow me to go from $609.42 to $4503.05 invested

Hopefully 2025 will be an even better year for me

2024 Times:

5K:
32 mins 25s —> 28 mins 18s (12.70% improvement)

2.4km:
14 mins 25s —> 11 mins 49s (18.03% improvement)

2025 goals:
- sub 10 mins 2.4km
- sub 25 mins 5K
- run a 10km race
- swim once a week on top of running

Hopefully similar improvements will follow in 2025

2024 Definitely has been an amazing year for my running

- Did quite a few 5km races
- Been consistent with running for over a year now
- ran sub 29 mins in 5K
- ran sub 12 mins for 2.4km
- ran 11km as part of a long run
- from 2 runs a week to 3 runs a week
- started a furry running group

Time for one final race tmr in 2024, let’s see how fit I truly am for the 5K post injury and test my fitness

A Goal: sub 27 mins (5:24/km)
B Goal: Get a time faster than 28 mins 18s
C Goal: Match the time of 28 mins 18s (5:40/km)

Tis the season 🌟🎄✨

Ngl feels good to swim again!! Definitely miss swimming

Hopefully this workout should get easier next week as the adaptations roll in

Need to maintain my fitness, think it’s probably time for me to get back into the pool to enhance my cardio further to hopefully help my running even even more

Today I did my 1st 5K specific running session 6 x 800 @ 5:00/km (aiming for sub 25 min 5K) with 2 mins rest, and the paces during the workouts, even though it was slower than what I wanted, I felt the effort was there so I maintained that throughout, need to repeat this session next week

Jan 2025 Running Training all planned! Let’s see if I can break sub 25 by then, would be hard but have to try, hopefully by the end of the year could break sub 20 this year in the 5K distance

And also go sub 10 and/or sub 11 over 2400

Hope for an amazing year of racing and training

Cons for 2025:

- LIFC
- IWAG
- FurUM

Hopefully can go for all 3!!

See everyone at armada hotel Tmr!!!

Let’s gooo!! FYP going amazing!! Finally a breakthrough where we get actual baby crayfish!!

Hopefully we will be able to grow more and more of them

50 mins of running total today

Hopefully can get back to running 45 mins to 75 mins non stop again

Slowly coming back running

Feeling really good but sore after today’s run

Excited to get back to Almost normal base training type stuff

Hopefully start of next year, can start to push hard again

Think for the rest of this year, will just use the time to rest my body and make sure the pain is fully gone before I resume back proper training and prepping for races

Weather has been such a pain for running

But great for eeepy!!

Hopefully this week should be able to clock get back up to 2 sessions a week, with 40 mins of running

I just really can’t wait to get back to racing and proper training!! Am excited to start properly training again next year

Megameet was definitely very very fun!!
