Q: So what were the results of that survey you posted a while back?

Yeah... did you think I forgot?! Here goes:
  • 60% preferred the 10K - Half Marathon distance, while 1/3 liked to go a bit shorter (5K-10K). 
  • Long, easy days (43%) and tempo workouts (36%) accounted for people's "favorite" workouts. However, what I found to be the most revealing, 0% liked recovery days.
  • The cross-training activities (swimming, cycling/spinning, yoga/pilates/zumba, weighs/TRX, and sleeping) ranked dead even.
  • 72% thought fall was the best season for running (wahooo!).
  • 40% enjoyed working out in the morning, while only 13% enjoyed the evening.
  • Half of us would rather drink water than a sports drink, and no one liked grape.
  • Nearly 50% liked "ice cream flavored" energy gels the best, with the majority of the others preferring the "berry flavors" or "juice-box/slushie flavors".
  • Eye of the Tiger received the most votes for "favorite running song" (totally agree with that!).
  • The movie selections were ranked pretty evenly, with Remember the Titans scoring slightly higher than the other selections at 33%. Only 13% liked my favorite - Dodgeball.
  • As for "blog content"... more training- and nutrition-themed posts seemed to be in demand, although "random" was a close third. :-)
