Part 2/8:
Rather than creating yet another monotonous day-by-day training vlog—of which there are plenty on YouTube—I opted to share the key insights I gained during this 30-day challenge. As you might have guessed from the spoiler, I successfully completed the challenge without injury.
The Motivation Behind the Challenge
One of the primary motivations for undertaking this challenge was to kickstart a momentum in my training and to gauge my base fitness. Initially, I was unsure of how much improvement I could realistically achieve within a mere month. The most straightforward metric of progress was to track my average pace against my average heart rate at the outset compared to the end.
