2026
Last year I set out some goals for the year. I think it worked pretty well, so I will do the same thing this year. Last year I had an ambition to track them more or less publicly, which I never did. I don’t have that ambition for this year.
2025 recap
I completed two out of three goals that I set for 2025. Two of three I think is ideal; you set realistic goals that were on the edge of manageable.
- ✅ Run 31 km trail race (January)
- ❌ Run half marathon in less than 1:30
- ✅ Run at least 1200 km over the entire year
2026 goals
We had a son just before Christmas, so my goals are more focused on maintaining a level this year than to reach new heights. I will keep two of the goals for 2025 and instead of doing long distance (which I don’t think I will have time for), I will attempt to get a good seeding for this years half-marathon. 1
- Seed to first group in half-marathon, or run 10km faster than 38:00.
- Run half marathon in less than 1:30
- Run at least 1200 km over the entire year

This is really a very pretentious goal. Last year I was apparently 3 seconds from getting in the first seeding group for the half-marathon. If you are in the first group there is a confetti canon that is fired when you start. How cool wouldn’t that be? ↩︎
