Kind of inspired by u/richardstrnad who made [a similar post](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/11jrre7/oc_7_years_of_running/) a while back. I did run on and off before this but July 2022 is when I fell back in love with running after a couple of years off. Around July 2024 is when I decided to take my training a bit more seriously, which is marked by an increase in mileage and frequency. There’s a few injuries and illnesses hidden here but surprisingly none of them managed to keep me off my feet for much more than a week.
In addition, the web version has tooltips showing the distance run. The squares are colour coded by distance and range from around 1 to 17 km.
The tool used is a personal fitness tracking app that I built in the free and open source version of [Budibase](https://github.com/Budibase/budibase). It was initially built specifically for tracking my progress on pull-ups with a lot of stats tailored to that purpose. Once I’ve built this Github style chart I decided to use it for my Garmin running data too.
I have to add that, while Budibase is a great tool, it was definitely not made for this. I stretched some of the UI elements beyond what they were intended for and the page takes at least 10 to 15 seconds to load in a browser. 😅
OP really committed to running

That’s awesome! I am jealous you’ve been able to stay physically healthy enough to run multiple times a week.
