With a new year – and a decade – fast approaching, runners are likely to set new goals and fill the race schedule for next year. Setting goals can help you improve your career, and if you’re still not sure what your next career year will look like, take inspiration from any of these career resolutions. We’ve also asked runners by posting on Instagram what their next plans are to motivate them a little more. Many people are getting a new PR, tackling bigger mileage, or finally completing the marathon of their dreams.
While some runners are already indicating how many miles they will start in 2021, others plan to go further. Here are some of our favorite New Year’s resolutions.
