Running Resolutions for 2022

Hi all! 

What are everyone's goals for running this year?? Any specifics? Please share  

My goals will be similar as last year:

1) Run more consistently.  If I run every other day in a week, will call it a successful week. Want at least 25 of those.

2) Run a 10K in person. 

3) Improve lifestyle choices, and quit a couple bad habits which hinder running. 

Looking forward to hearing from others! 

Hey! My goal for 2021 was to run 5km under 18 minutes and I brought my PB down to 17:14. I'd love to shed 15 seconds off in the New Year 

You're doing great @jay_1944! Don't be too hard on yourself and enjoy the process.

Well done on 17 minutes comrade. I have a goal set for every distance from 400m (<1 minute) to 10k (<40mn). Merry running.

@Sigognac Those are excellent goals. I have never ran 400m under 60 but it is something I'd like to try one day.

Excellent goals guys, good luck!!

A 1 minute 400 is a big challenge but progress being more linear in running than in chess, I hope I can manage it.

My goal is to sign up for a Half Marathon this year.

Good luck @Alex_NS! Have you ran a half marathon before? What's your time goal?

40 yard dash goals?

@Casablanca Definitely not for me. I'm not a sprinter. What about you?

I do distance and sprint, I run 5k's and stuff like that every now and then. I do think I'm more of a sprinter though. 

That's cool. Sprinting just ends too quick for me... I like long distance. The closest I get to "sprinting" is 200s done just under 30 seconds.

40 yards is the hyperbullet of running...

ya you gotta be athletic, sprinting is better for sports as well

Yeah, I play some sports so I work on sprinting, it helps a lot. Long distance I'm good at, just I don't do it as much. 

What are your best times on various distances? I know I won't be catching you in chess anytime soon

Haha yeah . I run a 5:50 mile, and run a 22 min 5k. I haven't ran anything other than that. Normally when I race, I get top in my age group. I also do a lot of sprints, 40 yd 100yd, etc. 

For sure, sprinting mechanics is more common in other sports and will help with those.

Good stuff everyone! Never even knew a 40yard dash was a thing. Makes the 100m seem long Lol  Love all the discussion! 

Oh yeah, 40 yards is about 36.5 metres but is mainly used to measure the performance of American football players.
