Running Goals for 2016

-Sub 3:50 in the 1500m

-Sub 1:50 in the 800m

-Sub 15 in the 5k

-Sub 75' half marathon

-Sub 2:50 marathon

-Get my BQ

Dealt with injuries/sickness all through 2015 so staying healthy would a plus too for 2016.

Sub 24 200m

Sub 54 400m

Sub 2:00 800m

Sub 4:10 1500m

Sub 17:00 5k

coming back from very long term illness, probably unrealistic expectations, but I'll give them a shot.

that's sub 24.50

Sub 2 minute 800. It's been 4 years since I ran that time. I had the fitness for it in 2013 and 2014 but was focused more on the 400.

Biggest obstacle is work constraints. I'm throwing together some workouts now just to see how fast i can go in January because I'm not going to be able to run in February. I'm out of the country in June, so I may shoot for a December track meet as the final peak race.

Best of luck to you all!

Those are nice goals for a walk on. All region in X-C? Which Region? I wish they gave All Region awards when we old folks ran in the NCAA X-C Regionals :) I was 16th in my region, qualified individually for NCAA Finals but they didn't have "All-Region" back then...................

PR in the following events

Current PRs, Goals:

800-1:58, 1:56

1500-3:59, 3:52

3000-8:23, 8:15

5000-14:41, 14:20

10000-30:17, 29:59

13.1-1:10:19, 1:07:30

26.2-2:30:28, 2:24:00

Didn't have a great year, so my goals will be very similar to those I had this past year

5000m : 14:40 - 14:45. PR of 15:20 from 6 months ago

3000m : 8:25 - 8:30. PR of 8:43 from 1.5 years ago, same shape last year

1500m : 3:57. PR of 4:06 from 1.5 years ago

Secondary goals of breaking 56 in the 400 (57.8 PR), 1:59 in the 800 (2:02 PR) , and have a good 10k race.

These goals may seem ambitious given my PRs, but I was definitely in better shape than the time suggests given my training and workouts at the time.
