I just finished my third day. Ran 3.15 miles at a calculated average METs of 13.2!

So far, this has had zero impact on my life, and seems to be about the same amount of total exercise I get on a weekly basis in the summer anyway. It's just more spread out.
When I bike to work, I probably exercise a lot more than what I'm doing under this experiment. That's 15 miles of hard biking every day (two 30 minute sessions), plus my usual lifting and bouldering AND running a few times a week.
Now, I'm JUST lifting, bouldering, and running every day, but running fewer total weekly miles.
Running can be addicting, I would limit myself to run 10K every other day, and on weekends not more than 2.5 hours for a long run. I kind stopped running when it gets cold like in winter so I took up P90X 3, is only 30 minutes and you can see results in almost a week, it puts a lot of crazy strain on your body though.
Now that I haven't been smoking basically since PAX, I think I might take it up. Previous attempts ended poorly, but at least I had the manners to chunder in a bin, rather than just on the floor.
I ran 5,000 meters today at an average speed of 1.067 furlongs per minute bearing a total mass of about 5 slugs for the distance. Thus concludes day 5.

Holy shit you were running at 3.5774376 m/s. Which is 12.8787754 km/h for most people. This means it took Rym 23 minutes and 17.6484174036 seconds to run 5 km.
He propelled approximately 72.9695147 kilograms during this period.
Primary school maths in the Google era is too easy.
23.17 for 5km is the first time I've ever really understood your running pace. Yesterday my 5km time was 28.49, so it seems you're waaaaaaay more serious about running than I'll ever be. My best ever time is 23.27, and that wasn't on the coldest day in 10 years.

My actual best time, to be serious for a moment, is 20:41. That was run relatively recently (this past year): I was never really serious about speed or timekeeping until Emily and I started running races, so I have no real comparison for the rest of my life to this point.
My typical 5k time for a normal rando-run is about 23-24 minutes. My typical 10k time is about 45-50 minutes. That's if I'm just bored and running around outside. Traffic lights, grades, routes, and wind are big factors.
In the summer, I'll run about 20km at once every other Saturday or so, but at a slower pace.
This spring I'm going to aim to get under 23 minutes once or twice. I always have to train up to an attempt like that, though I can hit 25 flat whenever I feel like it... if its not fucking freezing and I feel like pushing myself in the last kilometer.
Getting boring. The biggest problem I have six days in is that my left armpit is chafing a little. My times are basically the same as always: 23-24 minutes. Didn't push myself today after bouldering, but easily could have gone far longer or significantly faster.
My knees actually feel better, not worse, as the challenge progresses.
Going to do a 10k tomorrow, and then try to continue with 5ks for the next week after.
Comments
Worked when I was training on 10km runs, I was having groin pains (joints not genitals).
Also now running on Asics is like running on a cloud.
Have a nimbus pair, they're so comfy. Prior trainers have all caused aches and pains, and ultimately damaged my feet and ruined lives.
Also if you're not using metric for everything, you're a bad human being and you should feel bad.
