I completed my 2024 goal of 3600 miles of combined running and cycling today. I’ll probably get a few more miles in, but the target has been reached.
I envisioned doing about 500 miles of running plus 3100 of cycling but some injuries slowed me down on the running part and ended up with 347 miles of running and 3256 of riding as of today. You can really tell when I got hurt as my running miles plummeted in August. Plus, I don’t like to run in the heat.
Probably the best thing about the mix this year is the consistency on the bike. I didn’t have any months under 200 miles. I’m at 178 this month so it’ll be close this month but with nine days to go, chances are that I’ll be over 200 for December as well.
For 2025, I’m going to mix it up some. I’ll target the same 3600 miles but I’ll include walking miles and add in some events including my first triathlon in about 15 years.It should be fun!
