My Year in Sport, using data from my Strava, Swarm, and personal notes & recollections, assembled into a simpler summary on my personal site. 2025 activities according to Strava: 🏃🏻‍♂️1354mi + 160,077' hiking+running 👟 823mi + 119,453' running ⛰ 485mi trail running 🛣 337mi road running 🥾 526mi + 40,624' hiking 🧘🏻‍♂️ 8h27m yoga 💪🏻 some number of weight-lifting sessions (less than one a week) 🚲 4.6mi + 413' bicycling — only one ride all year somehow(?) 🪨 1 bouldering session (at Movement) Races: 🏁 3 races, finished 2 🌳 12k Bay to Breakers 1:55:31 https://tantek.com/t5c61 ⛰ 50k Skyline: 9:34:51 https://tantek.com/t5dQ1 2025 was a more difficult year than expected, in many ways, and that cut into both hours and frequencies of many physical activities. My yoga, bicycling, and bouldering activities all dropped from 2024 to 2025. My goals for 2026 for these are to find sustainable regular rhythms for each, either by myself or with friends. Update: I double-checked my Strava > Progress > See more of your progress, and both my time and frequency of weight-lifting sessions actually increased from 2024 to 2025, from only 17 to 21 activities (~25%), so I am counting that as a minor win that I can build on this year. I made several distance and vertical climbs on feet improvements in 2025 over 2024: * Overall: 160,077' climbed, +9.4k' over 150,676' in 2024 * Running: 823mi + 119,453', +20mi +8.3k' over 803mi + 111,155' in 2024 * Hiking: 526mi just barely (+6mi) over 520mi in 2024 * Finished a 50k! First since mid-2023. I have a few running goals for 2026: * incrementally faster Bay to Breakers over 2025 * Broken Arrow 23k Skyrace, finish and ideally beat my 2024 time (6h52m) * finish a 50k trail race, my fifth 50k I don't have specific metrics goals, like total distance, or feet climbed, or any specific race times (other than beating last year’s times). Those are all secondary to my goals. Based on how the past few years have gone, I believe these are reasonable goals, yet will take focus and hard work to achieve them. Lastly, this personalized, #indieweb “year in sport”, reflects much more of what matters to me than any summary from an online service. It’s not perfect and doesn’t need to be. It’s a start and I expect to iterate and improve it next year.
