I’m going to run 520 miles in 2026
Live Stats
Follow along with live stats, updated as soon as I finish a run!
Stats are computed based on 520 mi per year. Dates/times are New York time (ET). The stats might take a few seconds to load, thanks to AWS Lambda and Google Sheets API slowness.
Rules
- Running is speed exceeding 5 mph, ancillary walking doesn’t count.
- I’m relieved of the obligation in case of force majeure or if it becomes seriously impractical, or similar.
Commentary
Last year I ran 536.7 mi, beating my 500 mi goal. You can see read about that in last year’s post. It was fun (and motivating through friends) having that little site up for it, so I decided I would repeat it this year. The goal is a bit lower than the distance realized last year. The key here is to reach a level of consistency and make it routine.
FAQ
Why are you telling me about this?
So I can put up stats and show my family and friends. And maybe this creates more accountability.
Why are you doing miles instead of kilometers?!
I live in the US, the treadmills that I’m running on (for now) display speed and distance in miles.
