your fitness goals for 2014

[Mitchy1nge]

I am SO inspired by this woman! and wondering what, maybe less daring, plans and goals others have for the coming year?

Hiya mitchy

This year I have a mountain climb planned with some of my dc

10k in race for life instead of the 5k

And maybe a half marathon. Will see on that one. Need something else too as pretty much did all that this year as well. Love finding challenges to do but work/finances/family restricts me

hello :) a half marathon would be a great goal, have you seen any in particular you like the look of? of the mountain climb, I don't know why I live in East Anglia when it's so flat and farmed

To run a half marathon.
I did a 10k last year and now manage 10k runs once a week plus 2-3 5k runs so need a bigger challenge.

I'm doing my first half marathon in May. I'm more than happy doing 10k so that's my main challenge. I'd also like to stick to a regular workout routine. Just 15 mins a day or something. I desperately need to tone up. I've downloaded an app that gives me exercises or I'm thinking about one of those 30 day challenges, just want to stick with it.

Biscuits which half are you doing in May?
I am looking at one in May or a flatter one in cot but bit put off by training in July August weather.

Oct not cot!

To run 5k in less than 35 mins. I'm currently around 43 mins; as a PE dodger of many years standing, that's already more than I ever thought I'd manage!

Mine-get to brown belt in kickboxing (2 belts from where I am now) and manage 10 unassisted pull ups in one go - so far at 4 .

I think there's a half marathon in Peterborough. Going to look into it. Or maybe the Milton Keynes one.

My longest run this year was in November when I did 11 miles. Took 2 1/2 hours tho! My trainer from bootcamp says I have endurance not speed.

To run a half marathon. At the moment I can do 5km at a push.

I am doing a 10k in May, and a half Marathon in September. Going to be tough but I will do it!

In 2013, my sport goals were to run 5k and jump a small sj course. I did the jumping (though my ds tells everyone he jumped clear and I didn't) and ran a half marathon.

In 2014 I want to get my half marathon time down from 2'18, and do a sprint triathlon. The triathlon is a push as I've only just got the hang of one armed front crawl, but its going Ok. Not bothered about a time for that as I'll be slow in transition as I have to get my arm splint on to cycle

I'm also doing my first half next year, in March. If that goes well then I might think about another later in the year but I'm crap at running in the summer.

If I'm feeling particularly reckless on the day, I might enter the ballot for a 2015 VLM place.

Ruby my half is in Sunderland

Finish my 0-10k training (currently repeating wk6 of 14 after a festive break). Then improve my time from there.

I'm aiming to put a new inner tube in the back wheel of my bike, if I can do that there's a good chance I'll actually get out on it!
( I like to set small realistic goals :o )

Running 5k in 25 mins
Running 10k at all then in under an hour would be great!
biscuits I'm near you I think, s durham - I hadn't realised from 5:2 thread!

Running a half. Last time I did it was 2010 and there have been two babies since then.
Hello fellow northerners! I'm in Northumberland.

To run 5k in less than 30 minutes - I've been stuck on 31 point something for a while now.

To run the Race for Life.
I'm thinking about a 10k if I achieve my 5k goal. I'm currently running 6-7 k at weekends if I don't do the Park Run, so am building up to 10k slowly.

Ooh I'm in Darlington, well just outside anyway.

To improve on my half marathon and marathon times. I've also signed up for cross fit starting in January!

ooooh I"m about 12 miles north of darlington! We have a park run here which I did once must get back into it

I do the Parkrun in Darlo most weeks. I've volunteered a bit too. If I do nothing else all week I get myself there on a Saturday morning.

you all sound so motivated - I particularly like lazysuzanne's approach

my goal is to do some stuff that isn't running or cross training for running, maybe a martial arts class or a new dance class or both

I've still not done it Mitchy, wish it was the front wheel not the back

do ya have any particular style of martial art/dance in mind?

I do plan to focus more on strength training, and maybe learn to crochet for a bit of balance

I did 3 peaks challenge this year, so as I've got all the gear ( with a bit of an idea) I'm taking my teens up snowdon to give them a taste for the mountains. I fell in love with them. None round here in e mids. We will be on holiday in Wales so thought they would like to give it a go with their old mum!
