Statistics for 2010

As it's the start of a new year, I thought I'd pull out the cumulative stats for 2010, at least those I've registered through the Garmin connect website. So here they are:


RunningCyclingSwimmingOtherTotal
Activity Count117736310263
Distance (km)1,0232,305521183,498
Time (hrs)87.59620.519223
Elevation Gain (m)6,36410,008-9,89526,267
Avg Speed (km/h)12.024.03.2-16.5
Avg HR (bpm)149148--149
Calories60,64329,525--90,187

Looking at this, a few obvious and potentially interesting observations are that:
  • I run at half the speed that I cycle and burn twice the amount of calories per hour
  • Despite burning more energy, my heart rate while running and cycling are very similar
  • On average I exercise 5 times a week and my average session lasts for 35 minutes
I'm keeping this post short, as December's been a bit of a non-month, exercise wise at least. However, as I'm sure many of use will be saying at this point, January is a chance to put that one right.

As a final statistic of current interest, is that I have put on nearly 2kg during the month of December. Hopefully I'll be able to lose it just as quickly in January!
