That's exactly what I'm aiming for too.Dave said:I want to be able to run a sub 50minute 10km sometime during 2007.
Planning my first 1/2 marathon in March and would like to beat 2 hours.
I have the Bath Half Marathon in March and I hope to get round under 2:17 (this was my 1st attempt at a half this year), then the Bristol Half Marathon later on in the year where I aim to thrash Trinity !! :asleep:Steve said:It may be a bit early to ask this but as the forum has been quiet recently and I'm away between Christmas and New Year ....
What are you running aims/plans/ambitions/targets for 2007?
Good for you Menzie, nothing like taking the easy route..., you will love finishing your first race such a great feeling. Good Luck :d.menzies1981 said:First of all, hello to everyone. I'm new to running (2 months) and new here..
My aims in 2007 are to run a reasonable 10k in the Blackburn Winter Warmer 11th Feb and complete the Wilmslow half marathon on March 25th..
No long term plans as yet, see how the next two races go and take it form there...
Good luck to everyone. And Merry Christmas to you all...
Steve, I can't help thinking you're not aiming high enough. Never, ever, did I want to do a sub 3.30 marathon. I ALWAYS wanted to run sub 3 hour - and it came, even though I was in my sixties at the time. So set your sights higher. A sub 3 hour is easy in the FLM. It's flat, fast, and a lot of good crowd support. Re-programme your brain for running at 6.45 pace. Do some intervals, repetitions, a few fast 10K's to increase your overall cruising speed, and long steady runs on weekends you're not racing. You don't need to do huge mileages, concentrate more on quality rather than quantity. Surely, if an old beggar like me could do it, it should be even easier for a young whippersnapper like you!Steve said:Well as I'm in FLM (buggar!) my main aim is to crack 3:30 in that.!
