Do you know your total mileage for last year? I am always curious what other runners are doing. I am 50 years old, and slow, but I do love running. I also like to do other workouts (bike, swim, row, climbing). So how was your 2022?
Garmin makes it easy to track the numbers:
Total runs - 279
Total running mileage - 1869
Average distance per run - 6.7 miles per run
Longest run - 30
Shortest run - 3
1822.5...you win this round!
1350 miles
Longest run 13.1 miles
Fastest Mile, 4:50.0 track race
Fastest 5000m, 16:12 road
45yrs old
1,077 Miles (Blew my shoulder out in September and needed reconstructive surgery which pretty much ended my year. I am now going through the painful realm of getting back in shape)
Longest Run: I want to say 8 Miles
Fastest Mile: 5:28 (All Time PR 4:04 once upon a time)
Fastest 5k: 18:47
40 years old.
2030 miles
Very inconsistent though - it wasn't like I ran 39 miles every week. Had a fair amount of 25 weeks, a decent amount of 45-ish weeks, and a couple higher.
I'd be curious to see if anyone runs fast on sub 2000 miles. PRs are 15:4x, 9:2x, and 4:1x
3438.2 for me, I'm a runner at a D1 school.
PRs are 1:49, 3:41, 4:01

Dang! Nice work. I would trade my "more training" for your "better running."
I think there are certainly people who are running races like the 5km and because of a lifetime of training, they can dial back the "junk mileage" and still compete well for a few years.
When I was in 5km PR shape, I am sure I could have replaced my all easy runs with rest and/or cycling and still raced decently well for a few more years. In fact, towards the end, that might have been better.
Age 63, 2,408 miles, 340 runs, average 7.08, longest 26.2
I don't set a mileage goal but my weekly schedule is pretty consistent so 2,400 is probably my average over the (recent) years.
44 yrs old
2151 miles (41/w)
179,920 pushups (451/day)
longest - 20miles (first ever)
5k - 16:12 downhill enroute 5m @ 10k effort
half - 1:17
my best running year since i was 22.
Why so many pushups?
How do they help? Genuinely want to know.

I never really counted yearly miles, but I know that I rarely ever ran over 50 mpw in my life. Maybe 5 or 6 weeks total over 20 years of running.
PRs during college when I was running 25-40mpw on average were: 3:53 (1500), 14:41, 30:16
I didn’t train to have a large mpw number, I trained to try to win races.
2700 Miles running, took one month completely off
2000 miles biking
Best race: 852 3k
Two road miles (438,440)
ONe track 5k: 1541
One Road 5k: 1555
Two Half Marathons, 114 for both
constant nagging aches and pains. But a good, consistent year.
49-year-old male
3,573 miles in 2022
Most ever
Not doing the pushups for running reasons. My competitive days are long gone. I want to look more like a built dude that runs vs a runner thats built. pushups are better on the body than free weights and cheaper than a gym membership. 500-800 a day isnt too hard tbh.
Right now, I am most impressed by:
1) 179,920 push-ups (but why didn't you do 80 more?)
2) a 49 year old who ran 3573 miles
and 3) a 45 year old who ran a 4:50 mile

This is impressive too but since you might be 25 years old, I can't give you too much credit.
@Ruxton Towers.
I'm 41. didn't run much until I was 25, then not seriously until 30.
