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.
Not too sure about the number of 5 mile races in Sligo, but theres a BHAA Race in Dunboyne where I got my PB - fairly flat race and finishes on a track.
Last Tuesday in May.
BTW: My 1500 PB is 4.37
Love the last goal - top man.0 -
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

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 0 -

Started running earlier this year for the first time, so didn't have any goals for 2019
For 2020 something like:- 5k - 22.XX (currently 24.52)
- 10k - 49.XX (currently 53.27)
- Run a half marathon
- Run a marathon
- No injuries. (Been good so far!)
Bonus goals would be sub 2hrs in the HM and sub 4hrs in the full. I think those should be possible, but we'll see 0 -

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 0 -

Running Goals for 2020
(1) Race more - Race when not in PB shape - Race when you feel you dont want to.
(2) Embrace the psychology of Goal Races.
(3) Not target a lone 5k race for a PB - rather, target a bunch of them.
(4) More early morning midweek runs to remove the stress of fitting things into the evening. (even 2/week would be substantial)
(5) Regular S&C and Yoga (2-3 times/week)
(6) More Strides/Hill Sprints/200's - they help with cramp, apparently. See here.
(7) Manage fatigue better: Rest/recovery/H20/Slower runs/ Rest days.
Do the above and the times will come.
Times to target:
Marathon: Sub 2.50 (PB 2.52)
10k: Sub 36 (PB 36.09)
5m: 28:4x (PB 28:53)
5k: 17:1x (PB 17.24)
At this stage the Sub 60 10m and the sub 120 HM are on the back burner - Dont think they'll happen in 2020. Maybe 2021 0 -

Lose more weight.
Aim is to add 30-35 PRs and be in a position to do #100 the following year. Keep volunteering. It's good to be on the good side of the local junior PR Mr Big.
Do a few more road races.
Reduce my PBs further, particularly my 5k and 1 Mile. (When I say PBs, I mean post age 50 PBs. Not ever getting close to my lifetime PBs.)
But yeah, that weight...0 -

2018/2019 were complete write-offs for me trying to juggle baby/toddler and work and everything else. Things are calming down now. I was FAR too optimistic/unrealistic with my planned 2019 goals so for 2020, I'm keeping things simple:
- Invest in new runners and gear end of Jan
- Get out at least 4 times a week, every week, regardless of distance/time/speed goals (started last week)
- Eat better food, I was stopped in my tracks by too many colds in 2019 (I'm looking at you toddler!)
-Lose that blasted stone.
In terms of runs I'm targeting, just the one so far, Raheny 5 mile end of Jan. I'll see how that goes before signing up to more 0 -

Was in two minds whether to post goals for 2020 given the second half of the year I've had! But here goes.
No time related goals for 2020. What will be will be...
1. Most important goal is getting back to consistency. 6 days a week. One long, two sessions. Training since July of this year has been far too inconsistent, partly due to injuries/niggles but also due to the new arrival in the house
2. To stop chasing fitness. What this means for me is concentrating on not overcooking the training. I looked back on some of the training from June/July and it was way too aggressive, hence the injury problems. Undercook rather than overcook works better for me. I should have taken Lukes advice at the time - progressing both sessions every week isn't necessarily the best approach especially for someone with the lower cross issues I've had.
3. Keep an eye on that work/life/running balance. Again, towards the end of this year I was guilty of trying to manage all three ramping at the same time. So when life/work ramps, the intensity of the training needs to scale back. Easier said than done.
All in all I feel like I've learned a lot this year. Hopefully I can apply some of that learning in 2020. Original plan was target the limerick half. I have signed up for it but certainly won't be forcing a plan or a time goal on it. I'll see what shape I'm in as the next couple of months progress.0 -

New to running in the last 6 months and starting to head for trails. First trail half marathon this month, and would be happy with anything around 2 and a half hours in it. That would set a bar. As for other goals.
5km PB is 22.20. would love to go in and around 21mins here.
10km PB is 50.09, aim here is to go sub 46 mins.
No other times I'd be aiming at but id like to get better at longer distance and get out on the trails more. Food, nutrition , train properly and learn more about recovery.
Training has not gone well for the half due to all the Christmas pints but since Stephens day I've been hammering in the miles so we'll see how it goes 0 -
