Road to my first 5k (and beyond)

A RunKeeper x PowerBI Data Viz Project

Project Scope

I had been logging all my runs in the RunKeeper mobile app, but found that I coudln'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 go explore. An unexpected visual I used was by putting the gps of all my runs on a single map visual. This created a type of denisty plot of common areas I run which I thought was cool.

I created this as a PowerBI template file so you can use it with your own RunKeeper data. Instructions and link to download below!
