2016 Mileage Club


Time to post your total mileage count for 2016.

Post below the miles (or km) you have ran, walked, and/or hiked either barefoot or minimal.

We'll get you a shiny certificate of accomplishment!

1501 miles.

(2) 100 mile ultras.

(0) major injuries!

I forgot to keep track of what was bare and what was minimal this year, which is too bad because I ran a bunch of barefoot miles this year.
Please give me a close-enough estimate of was barefoot and what was minimal.

I'd rather be low, so I threw out Jan and Feb miles and then deducted everything that would be a "shod" run. I'd say 533 barefoot miles. 968 in sandals and minimal shoes.
 
Low mileage year due to knee replacements. Still managed about 300 miles running and walking barefoot, and countless games of golfing barefoot. Due to army golf ( hit it right then next shot hit it left) so a lot of walking miles were on the golf course but hard to calculate miles. So my mileage is based on guesstimation.

2016 was good to me! I made record mileages in running and cycling, and got a few races in and had a lot of fun while I was at it. :) I broke a thousand miles (just running) for the first time, a goal I've had for years. In order to do that though I gave up some time consuming things - decided to skip a garden this year and also took a year off from my huge amount of home renovations.

Ok so distances... I recorded these using Endomondo Sports Tracker:
Running - 1180 miles (1142 barefoot, 38 minimalist)
Hiking - 35 miles (all barefoot)
Walking - 74 miles (51 barefoot, 23 minimalist. These are specific work outs, not counting every day walking around home and the mall ;) )
Cycling - 1555 miles (all barefoot except 2 or 3 rides)
XC Skiing - 4 miles (only had opportunity to get out once with enough snow)
Kayaking - 5 miles (rather embarrassed to admit I only got out once)

So to do the math for TJ my combined total 'on foot' (run+hike+walk) 1289 total, that is 1228 barefoot and 61 in minimalist

Also tracked my stair climbing I do at work. I work in a hi-rise and take the stairs usually instead of elevator. In addition on nightshifts I try and hit the stairs every two hours or so.
Stairs - 14hrs : 32m : 43s
4,050 floors up and 4,875 floors down, these are large floors, 20 steps each
Time was only recorded for the going up, as Endo calculates calories based on climbing, like a step machine, I thought the numbers would be way off if I including going down.

Total Calories for all 2016 sports reported by Endomondo estimated to be 266,180kcal!

A ran a few races in '16, had a blast and broke some PRs as well! All were barefoot.
1 full marathon
18.12 Challenge (set new PR of 2:09)
1/2 marathon (set new PR of 1:34)
10k (set new PR of 39:22 and 1st place!)
4 miler
no 5k's this year, kind of weird, but none I usually do lined up with my days off

On the bike I did my first ever 100 mile ride, and also my first ever multi-day trip - 3 days on bike camping and over 200 miles.

Total Miles 1221.
Barefoot 1206.
vivo barefoot minimal shoes 15.
very nice year running for me.
I ran a hand full of 1/2 marathons (I did not run a full marathon this year).
My feet are good.
My legs are good.
We are ready for 2017
 
Total: 2485km (=1544 miles) of running
Barefoot: 2035km (=1265 miles)
Minimalist (VFF/XERO sandals): 450km (= 279 miles)

2016 was my first full year of (barefoot) running and I managed to run two half marathons and two 10k races. Not counting the 2 or 3 little splinters, I did not have any injury. My feet and calves are definitely stronger than they were in the beginning of the 2016. :)
 
Hell if I know. Definitely under 100 miles. That's what a nagging injury will do to me.
 
Considering I tried to coast a bit on mileage this year, I'm pretty happy with 1081.6 total miles run. The breakdown is 875.7 barefoot and 205.9 minimal, with Luna's or Sockwa's, weather depending.

If any of you are interested in a pre-set google spreadsheet to tally miles and help keep track of what you do or don't have on your feet, I have one available to people who sign up for the newsletter to my funfitnessafter50.com blog. I just put up the 2017 one.
 
Came short again with my mileage goals :(
I had a total of 1339.7 miles,
1227.7 barefoot
112.0 VFF.
I could've made it but things happened, my mom got gravely ill in April/May so I went to Mexico to spend quality time before the end then passed in September

I'm so sorry, Dama. :sorry: It hurts to lose our loved ones. You were there with her, and that is so special.
