Not all runners are competitive runners. I tack my time as a measure of progress among many other measurements, but my objective is to feel better and live a saner life.

Metrics are harder on software engineers, the good ones delete code, the best ones make sure useless code never gets written in the first place. How do you measure that?

This we don't really capture yet - but our hope is to continue along and give insights into this vital work as well down the line.
