This is just a brief post to summarize and wrap up all my running in 2024.
I like to do a yearly post like this each year, so here is a link to last year.
My grand total for this year was 1360.8 miles.
This breaks out to 26.1 miles per week. I ran on a total of 173 days this year, meaning each run averaged out to 7.86 miles.
This was a pretty middle-of-the-road year for mileage.
In 2023, I ran a solo 50 mile run, so I'd planned to up the distance to 100k for 2024. Unfortunately, this didn't happen. In fact, my longest runs in 2024 were all around the 20 to 21 mile distance.
In a way, I think my body and mind needed the rest from the ultra distances for a while. I spent this year running casually, and I didn't include speed work like I had in 2023.
Because 2024 was an off year for me, with lower mileage in general, I look forward to participating in more dedicated speed work in 2025.
I also hope that 2025 will finally, finally be my first time to run in the Grand Canyon, which is a lifetime bucket list location for me to visit as a trail runner.
Goals in 2025:
1. A minimum of twice a month dedicated speed sessions
2. A minimum of once a week strength AND flexibility work
3. Finally getting to run in the Grand Canyon
4. Adding to my list of successful 14er summits
Outside of those goals, I also look forward to seeing more friends up in the mountains and around town.
The best to everyone in 2025, and let's get out on the trails!
