Total Miles Ran

One of my New Year's goals this year was to run 100 miles. I am by no means a runner, but I wanted to get back into running.

I started the year strong, but fell off this summer. I am currently 19 miles away from my 100 mile goal

Have no idea. Back in my prime, for 7 years or so, I ran about 3000 miles per year. In High school about 1200 miles per year and when I got older, about the same. So roughly 35,000 miles.

I’m at 2,316 on Strava since April 2018

1225 miles for the year so far. 2700 since April 2020 when I started using Strava. Prob add 300 miles to that for around 3000 miles lifetime. Very new to running.

The month of my 30th birthday I ran 100 miles. Back then, on a regular week, I was running 15-20 miles.

Nowadays, I don't do any cardio at all, but I started incorporating it back into my routine for purposes of heart health, and because I need to shed a few LBs to get back down to my desired weight.

As for total miles ran, there's no telling. Back then, I ran with a Garmin GPS watch, and never logged my runs. I did that for probably 7-8 years. I stopped about 4 years ago when I had to stop smoking weed. Running was no longer enjoyable for me. I was unable to just zone out and go. Typically before I would even realize it, I was 3-4 miles in. Now, when I try to go distances, all I can think about is how long I've been running, and how much longer I have left to go. It sucks.

Been averaging about 1K miles a year for the last four years or so.
