I would like to run a marathon. If not this year then training up towards it so I can run one next year.
I just missed 1000km this year. I think I’d like to hit that.
More than that I’d like to run injury free for the year, having this year suffered from runners knee, and shin splints, and am currently laid up with a ligament strain in lower back (sedentary Christmas related rather than running related.)
Funnily enough I scraped the sub 20 5k last year AFTER picking up shin splints and basically taking a month off. The splints happened just before I was due to start tapering towards the 5k race so probably the best time it could’ve happened and I guess I was really well rested!

In an ideal world my long term goal i'd still really like to make the AG podium at a national duathlon race my current best is 5th. In the medium term I'd like to work up to 25 maybe 30k at the pace Joe Skipper just did that 50k i did a 10 miler at that pace last year so i reckon it's doable. In the short term just maintain some consistent ideal still 6 days a week training as we have a 7 week old baby and I've massively underestimated how time consuming she is. I rarely struggle for motivation but I'm going to have to be more organised than ever before to reach any of those goals without destroying myself or pushing my luck to much with my wife.

Happy New Year.. I just scraped 1,200km for the year which is significantly up on previous years.
I’ve got a Parkrun today to kick-off the year.. I’m hoping to get 1,500km in 2022 but the return to work-travel may scupper this.
I’d also like to get the ever-elusive sub 20 5km ..
Anyone got any targets for 2022?
