A consistent year of running but without any great achievements. It seemed like I was stuck at 18 minutes for every 5km parkrun after a promising start to the year, and other distances were always a bit behind my personal bests that each came a year ago in 2023.
The annual total was at least a small amount above the previous years:
- 2024 - 5147 kilometres and 392 hours
- 2023 - 5050 kilometres and 381 hours
- 2022 - 5119 kilometres and 390 hours
- 2021 - 5128 kilometres and 392 hours
These were my nine races for the year. The Gold Coast half marathon was my main goal, and I was happy with the result considering there was some challenging wind and rain. In general it wasn't a good year for weather conditions as the Australia Day and Sydney Harbour races both had extreme head winds.

I went to 51 parkruns for the year, missing three due to Gold Coast, Hawaii, and Vietnam. I didn't get too many new events, but there are now a few under an hour away at least.
