I started out the year with the goal to run 1,000 miles. No other rules or restrictions, just get the miles in.
That meant keeping a steady pace throughout the whole year. It worked out to 2.74 miles/day, the hardest annual goal I’ve ever set by almost double. I did 650 a few years back.
I didn’t want to push the mileage too hard for fear of getting injured, but also didn’t want to lag more than a few miles off the pace in case I ended up sick or otherwise indisposed.
Here are some of the notable stats on the year.
