Previous round-ups are here (2021, 2022, 2023, not sure why I didn’t post one for 2024…).I had a goal of running a total distance of 3650 km in 2025. In truth, after running 3500 km in 2024, I decided to aim for less (3000 km), but around springtime, I realised that I was at a similar total to the same point in 2024 and decided to increase the goal.
