Review of 2014

After missing the first half of 2013, due to illness, my main aim for 2014 was to get back running regularly but I did give myself a few goals, such as running 2014k in the year. Despite falling ill again in September, not only did I achieve this but I ended up running more miles in 2014 than in any other year, 1625 of them, or 2616k (my previous record being 1539 miles/ 2476k).

I also past a number of other milestones, including: clocking up 10,000 miles and 330 races since turning 50 and running my 150^th parkrun.

Whilst quantity was my main priority for this year, I was hopeful that I would get some decent performances too. A couple of sub 44 minute 10ks, a couple of sub 21 minute 5ks and a couple of sub 12 minute 3ks, including a 3k PB of 11:49, will do me fine.  My performances were reflected in my Runbritain Handicap, which came down from 10.7 to 9.0 over the 12 months.

All in all a decent year in the running stakes and a further 700 miles done on the bike, just to freshen up things, of course!
