In 2021, I ran for over 1000 miles, broke my PR twice in the half marathon and was consistently running a 24 minute 5K. The 1000 miles was an intentional goal I set out for myself.

In 2022, I have ran for just over 500 miles to this point, could not break 2 hours in the half marathons I ran, and watched my 5K time slip by several minutes, then battled nagging injuries over the fall after not properly training for a 30 hour relay race.

No excuses except I didn't put in the time and got complacent after an awesome 2021, thinking I could just show up and perform without putting forth the effort between.

Based on my examples above, it's easy to see how the level of consistency you put into something has a direct correlation to the output.

You consistently put in the time, you get better. Simple concept.

Will I ever be an elite runner? Not a chance, but I'll definitely be better than I was yesterday by just showing up and doing the work. Consistency always wins.

Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be spending time deciding where I want to put my 1000 miles for 2023.
