Below are my annual totals for running, walking, and my supplemental daily exercises. These numbers are presented entirely for informational purposes only. These are not good or bad totals, just what I did last year. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend anyone going out and duplicating my numbers, but it worked for me. None of the numbers below were targeted. It was just how things shook out for me this year. It’s also worth noting that annual totals can be misleading as it doesn’t give you the dispersion. My workouts were relatively evenly spread out over the year except June, November, and December which were my off-seasons.
| Running | 2015 | 2014 |
| Miles | 1,721 | 2,022 |
| Time | 18,757 | 21,773 |
| Ascent | 172,957 | 184,865 |
| Pace | 10.9 | 10.8 |
| Walking | 2015 | 2014 |
| Miles | 416 | 69 |
| Time | 6,961 | 1,177 |
| Pace | 16.8 | 17.0 |
My running mileage was down from 2014 as I cut down on back-to-back long runs and increased the amount of walking/hiking that I did. I would look for 2016 to be in line with this year plus or minus 10% as this seems like a good workload for me.
| Other Exercises | 2015 | 2014 |
| Situps | 8,633 | 8,917 |
| Crunches | 8,643 | 8,912 |
| Hip Bridges (Min) | 342 | 423 |
| Pull-ups | 3,501 | 1,928 |
| Pushups | 3,491 | 720 |
| Planks (Min) | 441 | 493 |
| V Planks (Min) | 132 | 1 |
| Bird Dog Planks | 712 | 0 |
| 100 Ups | 26 | 39 |
My 4×10 challenge was behind the big increase in pull-ups and pushups as I did at least 10 each day. I also added in a couple more plank variants. I may look to mix this up a bit more this year as it’s probably not the best thing to do the same 8 exercises all the time.
What exercises should I add to my daily workouts?
