  • My year in running ... I started 2019 with a goal for London and trained properly for it, hit my target, and feel like I've kinda coasted for the rest of the year, but still run a decent amount an had some good results. I've gotten into a good routine with running/training regularly and no injuries. Just not felt like I have been working as hard as I did in the run up to London.
    Yesterday I looked back over my Strava log and realised I've had a pretty good year considering I only properly trained for one race:

    • Sub 3:30 at London
    • Sub 20min 5k (only twice over the year but it's not a distance I race often or train for at all)
    • Endure 24 - 110 miles - 2nd place
    • Mercian Challenge (1oo miles) - 5th place
    • The Run with No Witty Name (33 miles) - 6th place
    • And of course, the local Santa Run - 1st place

    I have a couple of big goals for 2020 so it's also pretty reassuring to see I've also significantly increased my annual mileage over 2018's total (1300 miles vs 2100 to date in 2019) without really making an effort to do so. Not sure if I want to share my goals publicly yet though but it will involve going further and faster that I have ever done before. Maybe throw in a sub-90 min half marthon attempt somewhere in the Spring and Abingdon Marathon for a new PB too (a mate insists I can go under 3:15, I am yet to be convinced).
