The title basically says it all. I've always been curious to see how running actually effects my health, so decided to quantify it. 31 different metrics that I tracked over a two week period of running 10 miles every day compared with a two week base period I did prior. Some of the results were wild. Like gaining weight even though I was in calorie deficit a lot of the days??
Super interesting experience! Was fully expected for it to be a painful slog as I didn't have much of a base (dumb I know), but was very surprised when my body started adjusting to the mileage. The 14th and final day was my fastest at 8.41/mile (5.23/km). I'm not a very serious runner so was quite happy with this pace (though I'm thinking of getting more serious now that I know my body can handle it).
Anyways, if you're interested at taking a look here's a link to all the data ->

And here's a video I made about the experience ->

Please let me know if you have any feedback! Or similar experiences with some of the metrics. And maybe advice going forward as I'm thinking of doing a full marathon next year.
