Running Goals for 2014
Replies
-
My top running goal for 2014 is to shave an hour off my marathon time. I'm about to start training for my second, and my first marathon time was disappointing (battled tendinitis and a knee injury my last month of training). I'm running the same marathon this year, and I am ready for my rematch!0

I have the same goal! Last year, my goal to run 1000 miles was cut short on Dec 16 when I twisted my leg falling on the ice. I'm back now, and I'll be taking much better care of myself to ease back into running.
1) My distance goal this year is to run 2014 miles (go figure)...
2) I will run the Color Run 5K (16 Aug), the Lachine half marathon (24 Aug), and the Rock 'n' Roll Montreal full marathon (28 Sept).
3) My pace goals are: 5K under 21:30:00; 21K (HM) under 1:50:00; full marathon (26.2 mi) in 3:45:00.
4) My calorie goals: burn at least 16,000 calories per month. I need to get my weight down to 125 in order to improve my race time, so this should help me get there.

Do a 5K and 10K with no time goals0 -
I have two 1/2's this year and I would like to be able to run sub 2:00:00.0
-
consistency in putting myself first! I always put my runs off for my family. we will be traveling a lot this summer for softball and baseball, and I know to feel my best thru out, I MUST get my runs on
I want to build my base back to 25-30 a week when not training for a race.
put 750 on the books from now to 12-31
These all lead to next years goal of a 2:00 half, ok, maybe 2:15 half0 -
I'm new here too! My goals:
Build back to a base of 20 MPW
Do a 5K and 10K with no time goals
New here, too!
Our goals are pretty similar! I am doing my first race ever, 5K, in two weeks; first 10K in four weeks; and am hoping to train for a half in the fall. I've ran, on and off over years, but this last year is is the first time I have ever been consistent and truly made progress. Love love love running :-)0 -
So far this year:
1) Akron, OH Half Marathon - September 27, 20140 -
I will run a full by the end of this year.
I've already improved my HM time from last year, but I have one more to complete in September!!

I like this thread. It forced me to think about what my goals were at the beginning of the year:
sub 25 min 5K
sub 1:50 HM
sub 4:20 FM
I have been feeling very down because the running has been on hold due to both injury and illness. But when I re-assess, I see that it's not so bad. I already got the sub 25 min 5K. And I haven't completely given up hope on the other two, they may just have to come later than I wanted. Still very doable. I feel much better now

My goals for this year
sub 30 minute 5k
2:15 or better HM
This is only my second year really running. I already PR'd one 5k at 31 minutes, and my 10 Miler this past Sunday was 1:53:53 (12 minutes faster than the previous year) so...here goes!0 -
I have a lot of other goals, but I'll just stick with running:
2 Marathons - 1st completed in just under 4:30....want 2nd marathon to be closer to 4 hours
3 Half Marathons - 1st completed (time was bad from no training), others should be in the 1:55 or better range
I also have a ton of 5k's I do each year...this year looks to be around 10. No goals for them as I just enjoy supporting local groups or enjoying the scenery. Although, I hope to be around 25 min or less for most of them.
My primary focus is to just have a high volume of running, as next year I start massive speed work training to prepare to qualify for Boston. I will need to be running 7 minute miles...I cannot even run that fast for a 5k.0 -
A < 20min - 5k (at the moment ~ 25min)
A 45min - 10k (at the moment: ~55 min)
A 2h - 21k (never done yet
) 0 -
I will qualify for the Boston Marathon on October 5th, 2014 at the Twin Cities Marathon. Everything else is just details. I will lose weight. I will run sub 8 minutes miles. I will not get inured or sick. I will eat, rest, lift weights, stretch and run fast and far.0

I started the year with 2 running goals.
1. run my first marathon....done 4:33:06
2. run 1000 miles by 12/31/14. I'm at 510 so far
I think I want to go for a 1:50:00 half in November. Current PR for this course is 1:55:450 -
Great post idea! Mine is to run 2014 miles in 2014. I am way behind, but I plan to catch back up now that my Master's program is just about over.0

to eat a lot an gain about 5 pounds.

Last week, completed one of my goals of finishing a half marathon.
Really hit the wall the last couple of miles so right now my next goal is to train for another half in October (12 weeks away) and improve on my overall time and have something left in the tank for an good finishing push at the end of the race.0 -
Running goals for for 2014:
2,000 miles for the year (1,100 ytd)
Run three ultras...
Did the Glacier Ridge Ultramathon 50k (Portersville, PA) in April
Have the Youngstown Ultra Trail Classic 50k (Youngstown, OH) coming up in September
Have the Glacial Trail 50 Mile (Greenbush, WI) in October0 -
After I've had such a crappy year... I'd like to finish my races that I've signed up for.
So far this year, I have completed three half marathons, I have sprained an ankle, had a flair up of ITBFS, Shin splints and may have a stress fracture in my fibula. This after running 1200 miles , a full and 8 half marathons last year incident free.
30Km at the Winnipeg 10 and 10
Winnipeg Fire and Paramedic Service Half Marathon.
And then I think I will take an offseason and cross train. Allow my legs to fully recover.0 -
Finish Half Marathon in December 2014 under 2 hours. 0

My goals are modest:
Do a sub 40 minute 5K.
I'm almost middle aged, still obese and run slower than a sloth on valium so any increase in speed is huge for me (best time currently is 41:23). I plan to slowly increase my mileage and introduce speed work/intervals - cautiously, because the last thing I want is an injury.
Looks like I won't make my goal this year. Did a 10K in August and ever since my right foot has been sore. Got close, though - 40:17. Would like to change my goal to completing 50 parkruns. Am almost there, have done 42 so far (the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything).
