We show that the edges of any -regular graph can be almost decomposed into paths of length roughly , giving an approximate solution to a problem of Kotzig from 1957. Along the way, we show that almost all of the vertices of a -regular graph can be partitioned into paths, asymptotically confirming a conjecture of Magnant and Martin from 2009.
