targets and progression

[ChrisEyles]

I've managed 2/3 goals for the year so far:

Currently on 3449 miles this year, with a 3650 mile target, so well on track there
Completed my first metric century a few weeks ago
Still struggling like mad to get inside 30 minutes on a 10 mile TT though (on a rather non-optimised old ten speed) - hovering around 32 mins so far

I aim to beat last years total of 3665 mls already at 3104 so well on track

Last year I did 6500miles and i wanted to beat that this year, so set a target of 8000miles. I was well ahead of schedule in July (just over 5000miles) and was heading for 10000miles, but a car pulled out on me and I broke my neck. My target now is to get riding again before the end of the year.

Sounds like the most worthwhile target. Best of luck with the recovery.

No targets for me as i said but i should hit 4500 miles this year easily enough .

I don't know that's your call. If you set a target knowing you'll hit it it kinda defeats the purpose. Aim a bit higher and stretch yourself is all i'm saying.

fair play, it's not the end of the world if i don't hit the target i will just keep on pedalling!

Yup.

Pick a target that is achievable, but going to be a bit of a stretch. The round it up to the next highest 500/1000 miles (or km).

You know you are serious if you are late to a new years eve party to achieve it!

I am well below the mileage I did last year but I don't care so long as I keep cycling.
