          A 4:59 mile is way, way beyond my current ability and I have a 1:25 half marathon and an 18:38 5K.  You need a sub 17:30 5K to have even a remote shot at 4:59.

          Short term goal: 17:59 5K

          Mid term goal:  2:54:59 marathon

          Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life.  (I started running at age 45).

            You don't need a sub 18 5k, but if you can't run sub 18 in the 5k, you need to be able to go in the neighborhood of 2:10 in the 800.

              My game goal is 2600 miles, but I am really shooting for 3000. I don't know if that will be possible, therefore I only listed 2600. I want to PR in every distance, which will be a breeze IF I reach my weight goal. I want to end the year around 155lbs, but I will be starting it around 185lbs. IF I make my weight goal in the first half of the year, I would like to run a <1:30 HM by the end of the year. I will either run a FM in December or hold off until 2014 (depending on my weight loss progress). My New Year's resolution will be to give up Diet Coke, at least as a daily drink. I won't be hard on myself if I have on every once in a while.

                I can't figure out a mileage goal because I don't know what my training plans will be like yet. Which is why I procrastinated in signing up for 2013in2013 until I missed the cutoff Undecided I currently run in the ballpark of 10mpw but want to build a lot of base before planning a modified HM plan to  use to train for  my 10 miler in June, and then based on that race I will pick a plan for my half in October. So, as a new runner, I can't even begin to predict how many miles I expect to run in the whole year. But, I digress. Primary goal is to keep running all year!!!

                 

                 

                I have 3 races that I'm registered for so far, but there should hopefully be a lot more!!! Goals:

                 

                10K 1/26: PR (current 1:07:47)

                10 miler 6/18(first): this goal will likely be adjusted as I train, but right now I'm saying under 2 hours and 10 minutes

                Half marathon 10/13 (first): just finish is the goal

                Sub-30 5K at some point (current PR 33:33)

                PRs:   5K- 28:16 (5/5/13)      10K- 1:00:13 (10/27/13)    4M- 41:43 (9/7/13)   15K- 1:34:25  (8/17/13)    10M- 1:56:30 (4/6/14)     HM- 2:20:16 (4/13/14)     Full- 5:55:33 (11/1/15)

                  You are probably right, but that won't stop me from trying.  I ran 5:27 this year with no specific mile training.  I also ran 4:38 (and a 2:02 800) when I was in high school.  I have terrible endurance, but I can still run a decent 800.  I tried to set very hard goals for 2013.  I wanted to have a about a 50% chance to accomplish each one.  Perhaps my mile goal is too aggressive.  We'll see.

                  2013 goals: 800m: 2:20 | mile: 4:59 | 5k: 18:59 | 10k: 39:59 | HM: 1:32 | Marathon: 3:20

                    Are we there, yet?

                       

                      A 4:59 mile is way, way beyond my current ability and I have a 1:25 half marathon and an 18:38 5K.  You need a sub 17:30 5K to have even a remote shot at 4:59.

                      Nonsense!!! I couldn't break 19 for 5K when I ran 4:56. It depends as much on your natural speed and your training focus as it does on your endurance.

                       2024 Races:

                            03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles

                            05/11 - D3 50K
                            05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour

                            06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.

                       

                       

                           


                      Will run for scenery.

                        Primary Goals:

                        • Pike's Peak Ascent under 4:30 feeling good.
                        • Do Imogene Pass Run again.
                        • Do lots n' lots of trail running.

                        Other goals :

                        • 1000 miles (just now made that one up.)
                        • Run a "normal" HM (as opposed to the mountain power-hikes I also enjoy.)
                        • Maybe Leadville Marathon : is a maybe goal allowed?
                        • Not have to change forums any more !

                        Stupid feet!

                        Stupid elbow!

                          A) sub 3 marathon

                          B) sub 17 5K (This will be harder.. way harder.  Doing the raw speed work to get there might not play well with my D training.  We shall see, but not until winter is over.)

                          C) Climb 4 or more Adirondack high peaks

                          D) Spend a bunch of time getting my house and land the way I want them

                             It depends as much on your natural speed and your training focus as it does on your endurance.

                             

                            Agreed... this makes me want to go run a mile now and find out.

                             

                            Thinking that if my first split in a 5K is around 5:30, I can sure go a hell of a lot faster if there aren't 2.1 miles more Smile
