Late in 2023, I found a cool app called wandrer.earth that motivates you to explore unfamiliar places and veer off from your typical routes. It effectively tracks new miles traveled and integrates seamlessly with Strava, where I record my runs. After integrating it with Strava, it automatically runs a backfill of your recorded runs to tally the total unique miles. As of the date of this blog post, I have achieved the following:
- Covered 503.9 new miles running
- Ran in 4 countries: United States, Canada, Dominican Republic, and the Philippines
- Ran in 21 different provinces/states
In 2024, I’ve committed to run a new route whenever I travel and so far I’ve ran 54.99 new miles.
My goal is to his 200 unique miles by the end of 2024 (+263%). Sounds…reasonable?
