Road to my first 5k (and beyond)

Project Scope

I had been logging all my runs in the RunKeeper mobile app, but found that I couldn't easily track my progress.
I couldn't easily answer questions like:

• Am I increasing my mileage too quickly?
• Have I been running more this month compared to last?
• I wonder what a map of all my runs would look like...

So I decided to analyze my own data.

I found the data super interesting to explore. An unexpected visual I used was putting the GPS of all my runs on a single map visual — creating a density plot of common areas I run which I thought was cool.

I created this as a Power BI template file so you can use it with your own RunKeeper data. Instructions and download below.

I also built an interactive dashboard below — upload your own cardioActivities.csv to explore your stats.
