Pardon me if someone already started this thread (mobile app still shakey for forums), but I'm curious to hear what everyone's mileage ended up looking like at years end and what your mileage goal might look like for 2015. Although I've been running for five or six years I've never kept track of my mileage until now. I had hoped to hit 1,200 miles but fell short of that logging 1,111. I'm keeping the 1,200 goal for next year but adding in a mile a day streak goal.

2,800 miles in 2014. If I told you my 2015 goals I'd have to kill you.0

I ran 1434km last year. I set a late target of 1500 and then unfortunately was struck with a summer cold so I fell that little bit short. I'm aiming for 3200km next year, which I feel is high enough to keep me motivated, but not stupidly out of reach. Works to about 38.5 miles a week.0

750 miles in 2014. goal for 2015 1000 miles.0
-
601 miles this year - I didn't have a goal. 2015 will be the first year I set a mileage goal, and I'm shooting for 900.0
-
I don't have a mileage goal because if I don't train, it'll be because I'm sick or injured and it'd be better not to till I'm healthy. But I like to add up the total at the end. This year was 2569 miles.0

Just joined this group. I didn't have a 2014 mileage goal but finished the year with 1300 Garmin miles (excludes indoor track and treadmill runs). My 2015 goal is 2,015 miles. Lofty but I think doable.0
-
I've logged 650 this year, based on ternds it would have been about 850 but with 8 weeks of very limited mileage after injuring my knee in October I lost quite a bit.
No real target for this year as I'm still undecided on goals. I fancy a marathon this year, it's a question of whether I push for one in May or stick with a couple of half marathons early year then the full in October.0 -
I finished with just over 2100 miles, well short of my goal of 2800, which is what I ran the previous year. I had over 1500 logged the first 6 months before a knee injury caught up with me.
I'm not going to state any mileage goal for 2015 until I'm finished rehabbing the knee and get back to regular running.0 -
3150 miles for 2014. No goals for next yet but stay healthy :-)0
-
862 miles for 2014. I would like to reach 1000 in 2015, but it might not happen. As long as I am not below 862 next year, then I will be happy.0
-
I don't keep track of my mileage. But after surgery and many months of thinking I would never be able to run again, my main goal for 2015 is to stay healthy and keep running!0
-
Only 415 miles in 2014, versus the ~800 I ran in 2013. I played football for 6 months, so not as much pure running and didn't track all the running I did for football practice. Haven't set any goal for 2015, except to get my weekly average up to 30-35 miles a week.0
-
Logged 1,152 running miles (outdoors), 3,600 total miles running, walking, hiking, backpacking, treadmill for 2014. No specific mileage goals established yet though the 3,600 total mile goal has been one I've met for several years now even before I started running in 2013.0
-
I surprisingly did better than 2013 at 1,126. 2013 was 1005, and 2012 928, neither super high.
Very happy, especially considering that the 1,126 is with low low mileage in April, November, and December (with only 9.6 miles). I had some weird nerve/hip issuen @ end of the year that scared the heck out of me but now seems gone. YAY.
Hoping to get stronger, and much higher mileage, and PRs in 2015!!0 -
My goal at the start of 2014 was 750 miles but didn't realise then how important running would become to me. I ended the year with 1221.1 miles clocked (would have reached 1300 if not for the 'flu in Dec which knocked me flat for a couple of weeks).
I'm not setting a target for 2015 but have a spring & autumn marathon in the diary with a 12hr Ultra in the summer so expect my mileage to be higher than 2014.0 -
New here, this seemed like a good place to jump in. I was on track for another 2,500 mile year until plantar fasciitis hit in August, causing me to blow off my fall goal marathon and drastically reduce mileage. I ended up with 1,858 for the year.
Goals for next year are to get rid of this PF completely and get back into the shape I was in. If that happens I'll ramp up my mileage and attempt a sub-3:30 marathon in the fall (PR is 3:33, and I was going to go for sub-3:30 before the PF hit). Spring marathon I'm just hoping to get back to 3:45-3:50 shape. Mileage goal depends on how long it takes before I can get back to serious running (right now I'm running about 30 miles/week, all easy miles).0 -
I completed 1472 miles in 2014 (up from 666 miles in 2013). My goal at the start of the year was 1400, so I'm pleased with that, but after my marathon on 11/23, I was at 1413 and really wanted to hit 1500 as a nice round number. Didn't happen as I was a bit burnt out and really needed the time off in December - both mentally and physically.
I've set a goal of 1500 for 2015 - with a more consistent approach. I want to have 100+ miles for all 12 months.

First real year of running for me. And training for a half marathon this year. But my goal is to run 500 miles but to strive for 8000
-
I had to walk a bunch at the beginning of the year due to effing up my back from a bad pull on deadlifts.
That said, walking and running was 401mi on 2pairs of Sauconys, 6ish miles on demo shoes, plus about 100 on my Asics 3000s. Plus idk how more on other random walking shoes. Plus more on bike, elliptical, arc trainer, and the stairmaster.
2015 mile goals:
500 mi running at least
100 mi biking - outside
Little goals. Still coming back from ankle/leg issues unrelated to that bad pull (pre-existing to the bad pull lol)0 -
1340 is my mileage for the year; I did not have a mileage goal. Perhaps a 1800 mile goal for 20150

Doing my first full marathon in October this year...did my first half in November. Working on building mileage and I'm following a training schedule by Hal Higdon...any advice from veteran marathoners out there?0

Since you've got a while to build up base mileage, I humbly suggest that you modify the plan a little. The midweek longer run (builds from 3-10 in the plan)--if you can keep that higher, around 10-12 or so, it will *really* help with endurance towards the end of the race. (Obviously you would need to work up to a point of being able to handle the mileage, but it sounds like you're doing that already.)
Good luck and have fun!0 -

I was at a point last month when running 10 miles was easy-ish for me. With the holidays, that tapered a bit but I think I can get back there.
Biggest issue is that I work on Wednesdays (my mid-week run) so I'd be stuck either running the dark (would need to invest in some gear if I do that) or run on a treadmill (which has been giving my ankles and knees fits)...
I think once the days get longer and sunrise is earlier it won't be as big of an issue.0 -

I vote for the gear, you should have reflective gear and lights anyway since it's possible to run in the dark during the summer.
You can get a vest for like 10$ at Walmart, a light for 10$+ on Amazon

1,105 in 2014. Would like to aim for about 1500 in 2015, but really I'm more focused on increasing my base, speed, and completing my first 50K!0
-
I ran 706 miles in 2014 (versus 458 in 2013) and I am aiming for 1,000 miles in 2015. I might not of logged all of my treadmill runs the last two years, but those are close at least. Last year I ran three half marathons and finally hit the sub 2 hour mark. This year I am running another half in March and building a good mileage base while strongly considering doing my first full marathon in the fall if spring training goes well!0
-
2088 miles in 2014. I haven't thought much about how many miles for 2015 yet. 2500 miles would be nice I guess. I do want to increase elevation and my speed tho.0
-
In 2014 I only logged 370 miles but 90% percent of that came after June 1st. My only real goals for 2015 are to get back to 185 lbs. and run my first sub 2:00 half marathon. That said, I think 1000 miles will be a good number to shoot for.0
