June Goals
Replies
-
I have my first 5k first weekend in july (have done a 7 and a 10 before). I would like to be under 30min and my "pie in the sky" goal is under 29.
Just got back to it after a 2 week break for a holiday so I need to push on a bit.0 -
Sub-22 5K
120 miles for the month
Don't get injured
After playing around with a race pace calculator (instead of doing pace math in my head!) I think the sub-22 5K is my stretch goal and sub-23 is my more realistic goal. Forgot that extra 0.1 adds nearly 45 seconds!0 -

I know, it totally screws with the math.0 -
My bad for saying "anymore". I meant that they first produced the 5K, then 5K+, and they will stop there, not go further.It's been mentioned in more than one comment and I can't decide which one to quote, so I'll just type a lonesome one instead. I got confused because Varda wrote 10K+ and supposedly NHS doesn't go farther than C25K+. I think they announced fairly recently that there won't be a bridge-to-10K podcast anymore, even though many have requested it. But you cleared it up so carry on, this was just a parenthesis.
Oh, sorry. Was there ever a bridge to 10k podcast?
When I finished C25k, there was just the three audio fuel workouts on the NHS website.
We claimed squatters rights over this group which was nearly defunct, so we weren't scaring new runners with chafing/toenail stories or asking dumb questions in the Long Distance Runners group.0 -

Ok, ok. We're good

Is this for June goals? *tongue in cheek*
Log everything everyday and be 85% green for calorie goals.
200 miles running or rulking
Start Stronglifts (AGAIN) as I have 27 whole days between my half marathon June 1st and the next one June 28th. I need to get my core stronger so I can lift my legs higher so I can actually run faster hopefully.0 -
1 - Stay injury free
2 - 50 miles running
3 - 60 miles biking (I don't have a real bike, so it's inside on a stationary bike for now.)0 -
It's the last day of June! I hope everyone did well on their goals!
Here's my update:
Sub-22 5K - Ran a 21:15 5K on June 7th.
120 miles for the month - Ran 145 miles for the month
Don't get injured - I was a little worried about this one for a while. My shins were hurting off and on most of the month and I even had to skip one run. It was either the buildup in mileage or shoe issues, or a combination of things. I also experimented with two different Superfeet inserts vs. no insert at all. I think the inserts in a mild stability shoe was too much support for me. But the inserts in a neutral shoe feels good. So now I make sure to run one or two shorter runs each week in a neutral shoe. Long runs need a touch of support but no insert.0 -
Run a 10K(June 8th).
Start serious strength training, no excuses.
Start HM training(using Hal Higdon's novice 1 plan).
Track food and eat enough protein.
I ran a 10K and did it in 73 mins.
I did start strength training again but got derailed again due to summer break, ah well, adding it to july!
Started HM training. At week 4.
Trying to track food but protein intake has considerably improved. I can see an improvement in performance as well.0 -
I came up short of my 300 mile goal, because I've been running more than cycling. This trend will continue for a while, planning to run a 5k and a 10k next month, then start training for a half.
I love that I have friends running with me now, even though their pace is a bit slower than I would run by myself.0 -
~An injury free 10 NM race.
~Get to the dog park every day off work.
~Get better at XT.
~90 miles run for the month.
1. Had a wonderful 10 NM race.
2. Didn't get to the Dog Park as much as I wanted too, but did make an effort to go there at least once a week for a run with the pups.
3. I have gotten much better at getting in my strenght workouts during the week.
4. Crushed my 90 mile goal....did 108 miles total for the month of June.
I also had another goal going, which was a running streak from Memorial Day to 4th of July...and I have succeeded wonderfully. While I love doing running streaks and plan on doing them in the future for short periods of time like this, it made me realize how much I enjoy days that I can devote specifically to swimming or spinnig. So I think I will be going back to a 4 or 5 day running week after the 4th.0 -
Well, I got 91 miles in, in June. I'm happy. My current plan is to run less than that in July, but increase my strength work, and run more than that in August, continuing the strength work, and be prepared for the half marathon in mid-September.My ultimate goal for June is to run 100 miles during the month. I will be satisfied with 88 miles run, which would be my highest so far.0 -
Run my first HM!
Success! I anticipated finishing between 2:45 - 3:00 and finished in 2:36:07. I really thought 2:45 was a stretch for me, so I was very happy with my time and overall really enjoyed the experience.0 -
I have a race and a group run, but my goal is to consistently hit 15 miles per week and then start moving up to 20.
I didn't die. I think that's close enough.0 -

I can't find where I predicted your time, but I think I called this!0
