2014 fitness goals

[boston340]

Have you thought about any H&F-related goals for 2014 yet?  I'm still working on my list and narrowing it down!  What are your goals for next year?

[gt7301b]

Sub 23 min 5k
Sub 50 min 10k
Sub 1:25 10 miler
Sub 1:50 half
Land my axel or a double (not running, but ice skating related)
More strength training, and to cut body fat.

I'm sure I'll some up with more goals.

[clseale]

In order-
1: BQ in January
2: Since it's unlikely that I will break 1:40 in my half this month (I have 55 miles w/a 20 miler the week before), break 1:40.
3: I'd love to break 1:10 at my 15k in March, but I ran a 1:14 last year, so that could be very ambitious. I've had a lot of miles between now and then though, so we'll see.

[Susie]

- PR in a 10k.  (Current PR:  54:06, from 2001.)
- Break 6 hours in a HIM.  (Current PR:  6:24:40.)
- Break 2 hours in a HM.  (Current PR:  2:07:48.)

All 3 of those are reach goals.  If I hit 1 or 2 out of 3 I will be very happy.

[cinco]

PR something. Anything will do!

I was curious so I looked up last years goals

H&F. I am going to try and maintain my speed while running less mileage. Speedwork here I come.
5k PR
Run a couple races with DD1.

Non H&F. Move or get a plan to move in 2014.
Not lose my mind doing the above.

That darn 5k PR gets me every year. One day!

[mandiespharm]

Kind of a mix of crossfit and running
- Run a half (I signed up for the wineglass and I may do a couple others)
- Sub 28 5K
- Do real pull ups without bands
- Get better at push-ups and HSPUs
- Get in more miles running (I've been slacking alot since we moved at the end of the summer)

[texassmith]

*sub-23:00 5K
*sub-50:00 10K
*sub-1:50 HM if I don't do it this weekend
*complete my first marathon (this should happen in January if all goes according to plan)
*be more diligent about foam rolling/stretching (starting now, not waiting til 2014) and strength training (after the marathon)

Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using proboards

[runblondie26]

Run the Boston Marathon in April. As long as I get to experience this special year of the race and I finish under the time limit, I'll be more than happy.

I would like to run a 5k near my pre-pregnancy pace by the end of the year.

[Stingyshark]

1. Don't die when I start running again
2. Run a half next winter; I have no time goals in mine.. FINE, I do - but I'll never tell what they are; It's stupid to even have a time goal since it's been over a year since I've really run.

[boston340]

At this point my goals are:

- run a 22:30 5K (this is going to be a stretch for me)
- run 2 half-marathons and break 1:55
- I'd also like some kind of strength goal, but I'm not sure what that should be yet

My non-H&F goal is:

- read 30 books this year 

[Wines Not Whines]

I want to PR in all of my usual race distances (5k, 10k, 10 mile, half, and full marathon). That was my goal for 2013, and I did it, and now I want to do it again!

Wait, didn't you just move?

[secretlyevil]

Finish a half marathon in 2:30 or less
Lose 10 lbs or several inches, whichever gets my clothes to fit better
Hold a plank for three minutes or more
Be able to do 20 real push ups

[taratru]

In no particular order:

*Run two marathons
*Qualify for Boston 2015
*new half PR
*stay healthy, which = strength training and stretching, not drinking my way through summer.

[sadlebred]

Let my knee finish healing and get back into race shape by April. Do a few cross country mountain bike races, a couple of 3 hour races, and maybe a team 6 hour race.

[jene]

Stay as active as possible during the last half of pregnancy
Run a 5k or 10k in the fall

I would love to do a half next year, but I don't know how realistic that is

[al320]

My goals are very nebulous, and definitely not carved in stones.

As of spring, ill be healed and can do speedwork again. Id like to get faster: a sub-23 5k, a sub-1:45 hm, and maybe sub 3:50 full.

Im also planning to work on swimming more. I think we might be an official mastets team and theres been talk of competing. This requires two things for me: improving my flip turns and getting over my crippling fear of heights so i can get up on the block, and thus practice diving off of it. Yes, i realize they arent high off the ground, but its a crippling fear of heights, its really bad.

[al320]

Oh, one more, id like to drop a few more lbs. Isnt tbat always the goal though lol

I'm getting back into running after a many year hiatus, so most of mine are running related:

#1. Continue building base mileage during 2014 with a longer term goal of a marathon in Spring/Fall 2015.
#2. Leverage goal # 1 and do 2014 races of:  5K (Jan 2014),  8K (March 2014),  10K (May 2014) and HM (Sept/Oct 2014).  The HM could be a longshot but I believe I can do it.

#3. Crosstraining/Strength: nothing specific other than continue working in home gym on off running days. I'd like to do some type of fitness assessment in Jan. to be able to measure my progress.

#4. Weight/Measurements:  take body measurements on 1/1/14 and continue weight loss for another 5lbs, then maintainance

[lasagnasshole]

Get cleared to run by the orthopedist
Run a 5k
Lose some freaking weight finally
Get marginally decent at roller skating (namely, learning to stop!)
Get more comfortable riding my bike around town

[runaways]

Hmm. I'd like to break 4:00 in my January marathon, maybe shoot for sub-1:50 in my February half depending on this weekend, and find a 5k to PR. I should be starting residency in June/July though (OH GOD SOMEONE HOLD ME) so after that it's going to be a crap shoot and I'm just hoping I can find a little time to keep on running during my intern year.

[venice2007]

Continue healthy eating
PR anything lol
Try a race a month if i can in our heat
Keep up on strength training
Dream dream dream goal-yoga teacher training lol

[secretlyevil]

venice2007 - totally off topic, can you help me remember the name of those bars they gave out at mustache dash? I bought a box, love them, and cannot for the life of me remember what they're called now to get more...

All their flavors are great too!!!

[gncorman]

1. Run a half marathon. Ran one this year but really want to improve my training, thus hopefully my time.
2. Implement strength training into my routine
3. Go to the gym 3x week (joining one next week!)
4. Do a century ride with DH next summer/fall
5. Run the Pittsburgh marathon as part of a relay team
6. Lose weight and/or inches

Sounds like a lot but they all work together!

[Susie]

Oh, also? I am terrified by this: in addition to the above race goals, I want to get pregnant in the fall of 2014. 

[jchokie79]

1. Sub30 5k
2. Sub 2:30 Half at the Pgh Half. This will be a tall order for me since I'm slow to begin with and the hills will definitely be a big challenge for me.
3. Possibly running another Half in the Fall.

That was copied from last years post (and the link is from last year).
I was successful in something!
