    I've copied the table directly from one of the previous years.

    You know the drill - quote the most recent table, enter your time, remove the quote marks and post.

    I'd hope to get the 800m, 3K, 5 mile, half, and the holy grail that is the sub-6 mile this year. Who else is in ??

    I'm in for 5k, 5 mile and half marathon - and I wonder is there any way at all I might manage the 10 mile. It would be a big jump as my pb is 71.50

    Great stuff HelenAnne. The 10 mile is a tough enough target but I'd say a bit easier than the 5k (which you have already :D) so no bother to you. Problem with 10 milers is not enough races. Are you planning on Clontarf ?

    HelenAnne Trim 10 mile is a great race and reasonably flat, it's on the weekend after the Raheny 5 though..

    Good luck all. Will enjoy following the progress. It's a lofty goal of mine to hit some of these targets some day so will be following with interest!

    Excellent, Laura. No doubt at all that you will and I know for me the table was a big motivator in attempting some times that I would have thought were out of reach.

    I think the 5 miler is probably the most achievable, but having seen your sprint finish the 800m might be a good one to go for first !

    Yeah the 5 mile could be the first dream goal down the road! Given that you're not racing Raheny what one are you thinking of targeting?

    Ha, the 800m, not sure about that. I was doing my 600m intervals today in 2 mins 40s and it nearly broke me. Purely out of curiosity, where would one target an 800m race, especially if you're not in a club?

    This thread looks great! Have never timed myself doing the shorter distances, but have never done a marathon or half marathon (but signed up for Dublin half in Sep) and the 5 and 10k times are beyond my capabilities just yet.

    Will follow this thread though - will be a great source of motivation for me and will aim to be ready to at least give it a stab next year!

    Good luck to all

    You could fix that fairly easily for a start.

    I'd be really interested in targeting the 5 mile too, maybe a goal for the end of this year? I'd be happy with a sub 7 mile for now though. I don't know my 800 time, hmmm...

    Might do the BHAA Dunboyne race which is a fast course or maybe Terenure. Timing's a bit off with both of these as they're on in the middle of track season where 5 miles would feel like a marathon :rolleyes:. If there was one in Sept/Oct time that might be better.

    I actually organised a 800m TT on the grass track in Trinity with some clubmates, specifically to attempt a sub 3. Could easily do that again if there was interest ? It doesn't have to be an official race for the table, a time trial works too.

    Hi Bananaleaf, welcome to the thread :D. I'm going to post up some options now for the shorter distances as there are so many options for 5K+ but not everyone is aware of the shorter races.

    Thanks folks, both sound intriguing.

    BG I could be interested if you were doing something like that, especially if it was later in the year. Best case it's a shot to get something on the table, worst case I've given something different a go!

    Hi Ray, last year there were 2 events: 1,000 yards (PBs guaranteed ;)) and 2000 metres. The year before it was 1200m and 2000m and in previous years they have had a mile / 3K. So it varies. Highly recommended event and open to all standards !

    The Irish Runner Paced Miles (1 mile), Alsaa Winter League (1 mile/3K), Raheny Winter League (1,2,3 miles), Dublin Graded Meets (club runners) (100m - 5K track), BHAA Trinity Track (varies, see earlier post), Drogheda & District Graded Meets (100m - 3K track, brilliant events during the summer for all standards)

    Post up if you want details for any of these! Or, of course, if you know of more options. My knowledge is limited to Dublin :o.

    That reminds me ....... does anyone know anything about the Irish Runner paced miles? I contacted pacedmiles@athleticsireland.ie on Dec 18th looking to pay for 12 paced miles at the offer price of €50 but I heard nothing back. I don't see anything about them on their webpage either. Maybe not announced yet but I saw the advert for 12miles for €50 for 2017 in their 2016 annual.

    I had seen that offer all right but hadn't heard anything about it since. Their Facebook page is usually updated regularly so maybe follow that if you haven't already. I remember last year they announced the dates quite late. Of course your email may have got lost in the Xmas madness so no harm to try again once the silly season is over.
