I'll cheer you on from the sidelines if you don't mind. Good luck! :)
My exercise streak (mainly running, some cycling, bit of indoor rowing just before lock-down) is going strong with 112 days and counting. June brought up some other nice stats; highest mileage month for the year and highest June mileage ever (239) and 1,001 miles year-to-date.
I did one of my stock favourite long tempo runs last night, using breathing as a guide to pace, i.e. 2/2 - breathe in 2 steps, breathe out 2 steps. Any harder and I'm only breathing out for one step. No pace display on the Garmin. I know breathing is an individual thing but for me this gives me a rough guide to ~marathon effort, and it stops me getting too carried away or wasted from a session. Still hard work mind, but I was happy to see 5:50/m for 9 miles following 1 mile warm-up on an undulating route. Shame there aren't any marathons to run anywhere.

Exactly, 6km is done and dusted - and yes, I have both a month planner and a spreadsheet to make sure I tick all the distances off. Running it in order would have been "fun" but not feasible with work and events already booked in.
