"Review Of 2012"


It's that time of year to look back and see if those well intentioned armchair targets have been meet!  So here goes-

 
  • To run a fast 5k time - base line sub 21 minutes - stretch target sub 20. I only ran one at 22.02 at Parkrun back in January!
  • To complete the marathon talk Jantastic spring event. Yes and have registered again  for 2013!
  • To enter some Staffordshire Moorlands races. Again no
  • Quality hill and speed work sessions.  Not as much as I should have done and track work stopped after the summer leading to a real drop in some race times
  • Cross train including bike and swim. Not enough.
  • More miles and new races. Yes 48 races compared to 31 and achieved the club challenge award for competing all the club's main championships of road, track,fell and cross country
  • Stretch and remain injury free.Yes and I had a reasonably injury free year
  • Project 142 - to drop to this weight from 152lbs. No
  • Put running first. Mixed result!
  • Pb in the Cooper 12 minute endurance test (currently 2985 metres from 20th February 2007). No didn't get anywhere near.
All in all a poor year for achieving targets set BUT I did run and race much more than 2011. I got to new club V50 records in the 400 m (70 secs) and discuss (11.13)!  More importantly I am still enjoying running and competing and am looking forward to 2013.
