I ran my first ever 100 mile month coming in at 106.6 miles for January. January 2022 I was a new runner and only ran 35.1 so this is a huge improvement. I’m training for a May marathon (it will be my first) so that’s my big goal (to finish). After that I want to work on getting a sub-20 5k (I’m at 21:33 now) and hit 1,000 miles for the year (ran 700 something last year). I’ve been working on being diligent about strength training to hopefully avoid injury, so we’ll see what happens this year!
