    I pretty much sux at deadlifts. I'd like to pull 600, though I doubt my hands will allow that to happen.

    I’ve got ski instructor exams booked for April. Prior to that I need to spend time training in the off-piste and on steep pitches.
    Also just need to up my general cardio condition to help this.

    More generally- log 183 days with some sort of deliberate exercise activity (that averages as alternate days).

    Run a 5k in 2019

    Love it!

    If you start Couch to 5K now, doing 3 sessions per week as recommended, you could be running a 5K by March.

    I'm really loving the variety of everyone's goals! It proves it's not which exercise you do, the important thing is to keep active.

    To avoid the problems of aging - sarcopenia (muscle loss), falls, decline in bone density, cardiovascular disease - it's recommended we do:
    • at least two thirty-minute strength sessions a week,
    • at least 150-300 minutes of cardio exercise, and
    • balance, flexibility, and agility movements.

    Start with what you can do now, and see where that takes you, and who knows what you can do this time next year!

    I want to improve my trail endurance - I frequent a park where I do various paths and loops depending on how I am feeling any given day. I'd love to get around the 5 miles without walk breaks, there's about an 800' elevation variation.

    Running >1,000 km
    Cycling >2,500 km
    At least one timed 10Km run
    At least one Urban Trail Run (also 10Km but not timed)
    I did a 15km once this year - My aim is to have that as my base long weekend run, just like the 10K is now
    Was considering a half marathon but an ill timed but badly needed holiday is making that a case of not happening in the spring. Who knows I may do one in the autumn
