2025 Running Review

A very similar year to 2024 with no new records but not far off my best.

The annual total was down a little due to holidays:

  • 2025 - 4931 kilometres and 376 hours
  • 2024 - 5147 kilometres and 392 hours
  • 2023 - 5050 kilometres and 381 hours
  • 2022 - 5119 kilometres and 390 hours
  • 2021 - 5128 kilometres and 392 hours

I had eleven races for the year which is a pretty good number. My 10km results were all very similar after a slow start to the year, while the 2XU course may have been a little short. On the other hand my half marathon times were a little bit disappointing, but I had some hamstring soreness going into Melbourne Marathon and various other left leg issues have been continuing ever since.

  • January - Rosebud Australia Day Run 10km
    • 37:08
  • February - Carman's Fun Run 10km
    • 37:06
  • April - Run For The Kids 14.4km
    • 54:02
  • April - Ballarat Marathon 10km
    • 36:29
  • May - Sydney 10
    • 36:31
  • June - Brisbane Marathon 10km
    • 36:26
  • July - Gold Coast Marathon 21km
    • 1:19:19
  • September - Run Prix 10km
    • 36:24
  • October - Melbourne Marathon 21km
    • 1:19:50
  • November - Auckland Marathon 21km
    • 1:22:09
  • November - 2XU Wellness Run 10km
    • 35:55

I went to 53 parkruns for the year which was an equal best, only missing one due to Gold Coast half marathon like usual.

  • 53 events - 51 in 2024
  • 6 new events - 6 in 2024
    • April
      • Aintree Reserve
    • May
      • Wentworth Common (Sydney)
      • New Farm (Brisbane)
    • July
      • Meijo Koen (Nagoya)
      • Shibamata Koen Kadan (Tokyo)
    • November
      • Orakei Bay (Auckland)

The goals will be very similar for a third year in a row, but I'm unsure about the interstate and international events so far.

  • 2025
    • 5km 17:00 - 17:32
    • 10km 35:00 - 35:55
    • 21km 1:17:00 - 1:19:19
