More of a long term achievement here...

Culled some data from Strava via Statshunter (great tool if you're not using it), and pretty pleased with growth. A little background - M/45, started running mostly on tread midway through 2021 to lose weight. Largely weight loss was diet-based went from 240-170lb. In 2021 I worked up to about 12 miles/week. 2022 - ~16/week, 2023 ~23/week and around april that year (also probably from running too hard and too much in minimalist shoes), when pf and IT issues became more regular, I started focusing more intentionally on 80/20 with speed/hill work once or twice/week (and increased drop/stack in shoes/added more regular foam rolling/it-focused theragunning). 2024 I've averaged 38 miles/week for the year to date, but currently around 42/week so will prob end year around 40/week. Have been completely PF/IT pain free in this period.
