Goals for 2020??

Obviously try and stay injury free and run over 3000km for the year. Consistency with my training in running and supplementary work.

Normally don’t pick arbitrary times to chase, but will for next year, keep the mind focused.

I'm normally the same but I'll go with it too... For time targets

5km sub 17 minutes.
5 miles sub 29 minutes targeting low 28s.
10km sub 35:40

If track happens (not sure if it will) 1500m sub 4:40, 3000m sub 10 minutes.

Also continue to stay active with my club and the greater local running community, volunteering where needed.

2020 will be entered with the following PB's...

5k: 17:06
5M: 28:22
10K: 35:11
10M: 60:33
HM: 1:19:40
Marathon: 2:53:55

I'd like to think that they are all on the chopping block next year. Some are softer than others and all of them, with the exception of the 10Mile time, were set in 2019.

Some arbitrary numbers in here, in some cases I'll be happy to just PB, but I might as well put a time on the board.

5k: 16:xx
5M: 27:xx
10k: 34:xx
10M: 58:xx (The 60min barrier was a personal bug bear of mine last year...it's gonna fall this year)
HM: 1:18:xx
Marathon: 2:49:xx in Manchester would be fantastic and then maybe reasess for Amsterdam/Frankfurt

Will probably be a touch under 3000 miles for this year, not really in a position to up the mileage a great deal at the moment so will hopefully keep it at around the same.

I could talk about more sleep and what not, but it's a bit of a vagary really!

Going into 2020 fitter than I've ever been so looking forward to it all really

Last two years weren't great for me at all, so just going to focus on the 5k and maybe the odd 10k.

My pb is 19:38 but currently hitting 21:10(last parkrun was 21:27 but Griffeen is slow) for 5k. So first aim is to get that under 21 and go from there. Will race more often over the distance, parkruns etc. Will post my times in the log but dont have time to maintain the training part of it.

400m - 54s

800m indoor - 2.06

800m outdoor - 2.03

1500 - race my first one

Mile - sub 5

5k - 18.30 ...doubtful tbh


Lets gooooooooooooo

I have three goals next year:

- sub 18:00 5k (PB: 18:07)
- sub 5:30 mile (PB: 5:42)
- Be a regular 20 minute pacer at Rivervalley parkun (PB: 18:56, but it's a b0ll0x of a course)

I'm also registered for Donadea 50k (sub 4?), DCM (sub 3?) and possibly the SF Half (a PB!) which would be all great to do.

All of this is entirely fantasy land stuff as I recover from injury though

I'm back after 6 years of doing practically no exercise and my weight ballooning but thankfully I've been back running regularly for about 4 months so I want to set myself a few goals for next year. I'm not sure how realistic they are but sure lets see.

I'm disregarding my historic PB's for the moment as they are about 12 years old and are really from a different life.

My goals are:
1. Don't give up !!!
2. 5k : Sub 20 min (PB ~23:30 in training)
3. 10K Sub 43 min (PB unknown)

I might start a training log on here in the new year, I had an old one and it was fun looking back on it so yeah, might do that.

ctrl^C
ctrl^V

- sub 18:00 5k (soft PB: 18:47)
- sub 5:00 mile (PB: 5:02)
- if I get my mile target then I might try and set a time for the 800 after that. Target of 2:20 maybe

Put a lot of effort into running this year for DCM with 31 min PB so I am changing it up a bit for 2020. DCM is still a big goal but I am not really able to swim so I plan for first 6 months to focus on learning to swim and complete a Triathalon (Tri Athy probably) while still keeping a good running base and working on short fast intervals. Then will move into Marathon training in June for DCM.

So in short:

• Learn to Swim and complete a Tri.
• Work on short speed work and work for 5km PB (Current PB 21.37) - Sub 21min goal.
• DCM 2020 PB - Current PB 3.35 so will see how first 6 months Tri training goes. I am hoping it gives me a really strong base going into DCM.

Started running earlier this year when I did couch to 5k. My main goal for 2020 is to continue to improve. Have done a couple of races which I loved so I'll try sign up for plenty of them in 2020 to keep me motivated!

Goals:
- Sub 25 min 5k (PB 27:27)
- Sub 55 min 10k (PB 58:42)
- Run a half marathon. Ideally I'd love to do sub 2 hrs but completing one would be an achievement in itself for me. I've never run further than 10k.

My main nemesis is shin splints so I'm hoping it won't scupper any of the above goals.

Excited for the year ahead

Main goal is sub 3:20 marathon (current 3:29) which I should manage all going well.

Sub 1:30 HM (current 1:36) would be great but not focused on it but may just be happen as a side effect of the marathon runs.

Get my core and technique sorted.

Everything else is a bonus e.g sub 20min 5k (currently 20:40) but I very very rarely run 5ks. Perhaps a 42 min 10k (current 44:xx but that was 2 years ago and have not entered a 10k since). Sub 1:10 10 miler would be nice (current 1:12).

And get rid of the patella tendonitis which is the bane of my life.

my only goal for 2020 is to run a sub 3 hr marathon and whatever times over shorter distances I need to nail to achieve that. ran 3:18 at Dublin in October so a big improvement needed. been working on shorter stuff over the last 2 months with the tom brennan 5k in mind, would love to go sub 19 in that to get the year off to a good start. sub 29 in the raheny 5 mile would be another good step.

Sub 19 5k and sub 29 5 mile are worlds apart?

Yeah, without looking at calculators I'd say maybe 17:45ish and sub 29? Maybe 17:30?

cheers lads, looks like i'm being way too optimistic, both times are unchartered territory for me so not really based on anything. to be honest I'd be delighted with 29:XX at raheny.

Well I ran 29:59 in the build up to going sub 3 the first time
