    An ultra marathon in July.
    100k along the Ridgeway, one of the oldest roads in Britain.

    I recently learned what an ultra marathon was via Joe Rogan and David Goggins. You ultra runners are amazing! Good luck to you!

    Thank you, I hope to be but haven't done it yet!

    I read a few articles about them, saw it described as a run where you go really slow and eat all the time, and suddenly it seemed achievable 😄

    If nothing else the training for it is really doing all kinds of good things for my figure!

    My fitness goals for 2020 are:
    • To run at least one race (either location or virtual) per month.
    • Start seriously considering full marathon training...to do that, my goal is to run at least 18 miles in one shot.
    • Lose the 15 lbs I put on over the year due to work and life stress (my clothes still fit...I need to do this to make it easier on my joints when I run)
    • Refire my passion for dancing. I started a barre workout series this week, which is reminding me how much I miss ballet. And I found a ballroom cardio program I'm going to start adding in to my workouts.

    To get down to my goal weight by sometime in March (I have around 15 pounds left to lose).
    Be more consistent in logging my meals.
    Work on my weak areas as far as exercises go. (Push-ups etc)

    That sounds great for me except the one hundred miles part 😂 post an update after the race!

    My fitness goals for 2020:

    I. Get Faster
    II. Avoid Injury

    To do so, need to:
    *Rebuild fitness lost during fifteen month rehab, including dropping 18lbs to return to 2017 racing weight.
    * Target a sub 6 hour finish @ the Half Iron distance in triathlon.
    * Target a sub 1:54:00 finish in an open half marathon.
    * Maintain a regular yoga practice and get regular deep tissue work done to aid recovery and minimize chance of injury.

    Stretch Goal: Enter a late season Ironman race.

    My goals are to continue to maintain my weight. To workout at least 3x a week. To eat mindfully.

    Become stronger and leaner. Am committed to taking weight lifting classes and doing free weights at home to supplement.

    I really want to be able to do a push up. I accomplished weight loss in 2019, not its primarily strength training for 2020.

    135 bench
    Lean enough to finally do pull ups
    Keep my back healthy so I can grow my squat and dead back up.

    And, why not add in to get my average watts per spin class to over 250...this one may be a stretch.

    Try to maintain a steady workout schedule. Ideally 30 minutes every day. I do better if I do it first thing in the morning before work.

    1) Endurance: run a 10K (doesn’t need to be a race, I just want enough endurance to do it)
    2) Mobility: reach hands behind my back in this position (It’s used in mobility testing, and I’m nowhere near passing)

    3) Strength: I’ll set some goals with my trainer this week.

    My husband recently expressed interest and motivation in fitness, and I asked him if he had any concrete goal. His goal ”to become the kind of person that feels bad when he has to miss a workout” really resonated. I want exercise and activity to beome an ingrained habit that feels odd to skip.

    Self care in the form of getting physio and massage to finally correct some issues with my Achilles and low back.

    Another Spartan sprint (so fun)

    Hoping to get myself in shape for the 2-day Ride to Conquer Cancer.

    Get my running back up to 10k+ without foot pain.

    Get back in the pool

    And stretching daily!!!

    My main goals are to hopefully reach my goal weight, and start weight training.

    I want to get back to where I was in 2017/18. 2019 was kinda *kitten* fitness wise due to a few injuries and some laziness on my part. I fractured my knee cap last February and everything just went downhill from there as recovery from that takes awhile but I milked it a bit.

    As lifting goes, start now...you shouldn't wait until you lose weight to start lifting.

    My specific and planned out goals for 2020 are to
    - Be able to do a muscle-up
    - Be able to get chest to floor doing a pancake stretch
    - Get a minute hold doing a handstand or be able to a press handstand

    My vague goals are to get to a decent level of performance at Ballet and on the Lyra.

    My even vaguer goal is to drop 10kg but I am not that focused on that one - it is in the nice byproduct catergory

    Okay, this is silly, but I have been playing a fitness game (Ring Fit Adventure) and I really really want to have enough muscle endurance and control to play it on the highest difficulty. This is much harder to achieve than I expected.

    This.

    Endurance version. 30 miles, over 7,000 ft of ascent, 10 hours. In the unpredictable April weather. What could possibly go wrong.

    More weight training and less cardio. Also keeping up my plant based diet.
