Got back into running 6 years ago. I do a couple of marathons, half-marathons, and shorter races each year. I run about 50-60 mpw, lift weights once a week, and ocassionally cross-train. Looking for a goal/resolution for 2011. Could afford to lose a few pounds, improve upper body strenght, and run faster.
Be more decisive and quit procrastinating
Run 3000 miles in 2011.
100 miler.
What is the worst thing/habit you do/have in your life, or in your running? Set a resolution to change or improve that thing.
google "100pushupchallenge" for pushups/upper body strength. They also have pullup varations. It's a fun goal to shoot for.
PRs - take your PR at whatever distance you want to improve. Take 7% off that time: working from a 3-hour marathon PR, you'd get 2:47. If you can see yourself running that, then set that as a goal. Otherwise, keep bumping it up by a minute until your reaction changes from "no way" to "maybe". Set that as your new goal. In this example, you'd say: 2:47? No way. 2:48? no way. ..... 2:53? Hmmmm, maybe. Ok, 2:53 in 6 months is your goal.
