I ran inconsistently in 2019, and 2018 come to that. Around 220 miles each year. I reckon I can knock that up a notch in 2020 and intend to get 500 miles squared away, i.e. 10 miles a week or so, or 1.5 miles per day on average.
I certainly won’t video or chronicle most of my runs, but for the inaugural one, I felt I wanted to!
I dug out from Runkeeper my tracked runs since August 2010. I don’t track every run (especially races), so it’s only a partial picture, but interesting nonetheless:
| Year | Miles |
| 2010 | 188.5 (Aug-Dec only; included Amsterdam marathon in October, which I did track) |
| 2011 | 417.2 (including Lille half-mazza in September) |
| 2012 | 254.9 (lots of training for, although not the actual event of, Henley half-iron) |
| 2013 | 98.2 |
| 2014 | 169.8 |
| 2015 | 13.3 |
| 2016 | 73.5 |
| 2017 | 56.3 |
| 2018 | 222.1 |
| 2019 | 211.9 |
And it’s worth pointing out that this goal for 2020 is to lead me on towards running the London marathon again in 2022, as I ran it in both 2002 and 2012, so it seems appropriate.
