Five separate times you stepped away for more than a month and then picked it up again, including one stretch of about three months before you returned in September 2025. The amount of running came in waves: busier spells around 2022 through 2025 of broadly similar size, with no single peak towering over the rest, and the overall level easing down as the years went on. You showed up in more than half the weeks, though the weeks held a run a little less often toward the end. By the close of the record in May 2026, the running had quieted to a fraction of its busiest months.

Most of your runs sat under 5K, a distance character that held from the early days right through to the end. If anything, the runs leaned a touch shorter as the years went on, with the longer outings (your 26 runs at 10 km or more) staying the rare exceptions. More than half of it was on rolling ground, with the rest run flat, and that mix of terrain stayed put without any clear drift one way or the other. The typical outing, then, was a short run over gentle rises.

Reflection

What your running adds up to is a quieting one. The weeks came to hold a run less often by the later months, and the runs themselves drifted shorter as they went. By May 2026 the rhythm had eased off, and the record can show the change without showing what was behind it: a year of running that loosened its hold, week by lighter week.
