Goals for 2025: - Sign up for a half marathon race - More full-body, dynamic workouts (HIIT/HYROX style) - More emphasis on stretching/recovery Unfortunately entering the year rehabbing a foot injury... but will be back at it again soon! 🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️

Learned importance of hydration strategy night before + morning of. It makes a real difference, more than I thought during the workout. Did not try to quantify heart rate / sleep impacts but qualitatively seems better (?) - open to recs on trackers

Experimented with several different shoes but actually leaned on my HOKAs > Nike for the first time. Cushioning was more comfortable for distance, and durability was actually better (350+ mile vs. 250+ mile lifetime). Rotated through multiple pairs based on the type of run.

Pretty clear results: saw a noticeable improvement in my aerobic base. Intermediate 4-6 mile runs became easier. Felt more endurance (aka less gassed 😅) when playing basketball or other sports. Got leaner.

Posting my 2024 running stats for self-reflection/accountability... word for the year was CONSISTENCY. Stuck with 2-3x runs/week + 1x lift through the whole year. Incorporated longer easy runs and intentionally slowed down my pace, while mixing in tempo workouts.
