🕰️ Fun Fact Thursday 🕰️
This week’s finding comes from another of our internal departments: the MSRC Chronometric Running Behaviour Bureau, or MSRCCRBB, which definitely sounds like something that only exists at 6am.
After reviewing all previous research including the Around‑the‑World Distance Initiative, the Step Quantification Taskforce, the Shoe Retirement Directorate, and the Dry Zone meteorological study, we have now turned our attention to time.
Using a classic dependable 6:00–7:00 min/km cruising speed, we converted the average of every kilometre we’ve run since 2015 into total hours spent moving. Tuesdays, Fridays, Sundays, On Tour runs, and every “just 5k” that was mysteriously rounded up (but excluding club target events and other crazy runs members do). The conclusion?
That's over 4,342 hours of running which works out to be 181 continuous days, or six months without stopping!
We’ve spent so many hours running that MSRC may actually be stuck in its own Groundhog Day. Same MSRC morning run. Same jokes. Same “just 5k”.
At least we’re levelling up every run and seeing new sunrises!
Another proud entry in the MSRC data‑mythos:
Distance → Steps → Calories → Time
Turns out consistency really does add up so come join us at one of our weekly runs:
⏰ Tuesday 6am – 5k out and back
⏰ Friday 6am – 15 minutes out, 15 minutes back
⏰ Sunday 8am – 5k or 8k options, followed by coffee
