In terms of running, last year started off very depressively. We were closed for a long time, all possible events were canceled, swimming pools, stadiums and arena were closed. And most importantly, it was not at all clear how long it would last (and it lasted from October to May).

Of course, we were planning some kind of races. I even wrote plans for the year (most of which, by the way, came true in the end). But the motivation to strain somehow disappeared. I remember this feeling when I didn't want to leave my comfort zone at all. I didn't want to run - I didn't even run ...

As a result, by the summer my running shape had sagged a lot. I even wrote down this fact (more in order to admit it).

But when a more or less familiar life returned and we began to live a completely ordinary, familiar, interesting summer, the desire to train returned too. The second half of the year in the running plan came out much better!
As a result, this year I ran even more than in any of my previous years (this despite the fact that at the beginning of the year I almost did not run).

Next year it would be necessary to beat the figure of 3000 km per year. Although I'm not chasing volumes at all, but these, 70-80 km per week, began to be perceived as background and I do not notice them at all.

Yes, many of you find it difficult to judge the improvement in my trail and cross results. Yes, even at strange distances in the arena. There are no clear numbers with which to compare.

Therefore, for those who like numbers, I will announce aloud the running goals for the next year:
1) I want to run 10k on the highway in 40 minutes
2) I want to start the half marathon with a pacemaker with a flag at 1:30 (this means that I will have to be ready to run at 1:28 that day)

I sat in something in the comfort zone in terms of sports. We must try to get the result out of ourselves.
