I'm sure a sister thread will be started regards new year resolutions, but I thought if resurrect this thread specifically for my resolution for 2016. I lost a bit of enthusiasm for this year, so I have/will be setting myself some goals in 2016. Who fancies some friendly encouragement/motivation?

2016 (miles/KM) in 2016?
An objective to run 5k for a beginner?

Who'd be up for sharing their resolutions and if they remain in target to achieve them?

I've had a year of injury hell, something for you youngsters to look forward to later in life.

so no running resolutions, a few months injury free running seems like the impossible dream right now

I want to do achieve more 'road' running this year. It never has appealed to me but want to complete half and full marathons at some point.

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...

On the flip side to your wanting to more road running, I quite like to look of some of the trail runs. I think there is a 10 miler in Marlborough in Jan time (although don't quote me on that). For someone starting out or looking to do a half, my personal favourites are Reading or Cheltenham as they are well supported, varied route and quite flat.

Running is 'my thing' and I signed up to run 80k in chamonix in June, which I think will be amazing..I've done that distance on the flat, once but wanted to give myself a big challenge... so, no more fags,  no more hagan das in front of the tv with the missus for a while...

Hills or distance aren't an issue. My hips don't like hard ground. I need to get that sorted and some proper runners. I find road running boring.

I ran 4k with the kids this morning and 10k alone tonight.  Which was nice.

I need to get running or something, if my belly gets any bigger it'll develop its own climate. I think I need a mid-life crisis.

I have signed up for the Bath Half, and as the winter is unreasonably mild this year, I should be able to actually train for it. I'd like to do sub 90 minutes on a half at some point, but don't think I've got enough time to get up to that pace for this one.

But either way, I need to get running. I usually do all my training outside, how do people find treadmills translate to road running? I could much more easily run at my gym.

After doing a half marathon this year I've discovered that a re-occurrence of an old skiing accident injury means I have to have my ankle broken and reset.

6 weeks non weight bearing in a cast. Smashing. No driving, no cycling, no running.

Fucking Boooo

treadmills are both tedious and I don't find mine these representative. it's actually a bit harder - unless you don't put a slope on it. using mine to slowly try and build up again - at least if the injury reoccurs it's a short walk home!

sub 90 would be a great time. my aim was sub 100 but injury and overeating had put paid to that for a year or so..
