targets and progression

[young Ed]

so what targets have did/do you have for 2014? and how far have you got with them?

i have a mileage goal of 1,500 miles and have today rolled through that with today's 28.5 miler so i think i will up it to 2,000 as that should be more than easy to achieve in the next 3 months

i also have the challenge/target to do my first imperial century before the end of the year which is still to come
Cheers Ed

1,500 miles in just over 1 month is a fair bit (for me at least!) but go for it

My target for the last few months has been to do 1000km per month. Helped with the strava mts badges.

Just to get cycling regularly again after developing BPPV.

And in other fitness areas to get back in to competitive lifting, which hasn't happened but at least I'm training pretty well now.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

My target for the year is 3,000 miles. Currently on 3,128 so doing alright with that .

I'm also having a go at the Metric Century a Month Challenge and have managed ten 100km+ rides to date (including two imperial centuries and a 93 miler) . Quite chuffed with that even if I have done the least number of big rides among the challengers.

As per http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/2014-cycling-resolutions-whats-yours.146549/#post-2848667

I aimed to ride 3000 this year, which I have done already, almost reached 3700. I'd like to have done 5000 miles Nov - Nov, which I am 4150 into, but the cold I've had this week has really put me behind! I've also lost more than the 4 stone I wanted to and bought sufficient lights and ridden in the pitch black. The 6 day a week is rare though, not feasible with work commitments.

 

[DCLane]

Target of 7500 miles, which I'm well on course to reach

The other two, erm, not a chance of doing (score points in racing and a C2C ).

 

[coffeejo]

On course for my mileage goal. Still not got round to tackling the imperial century but today I'll be crossing something off the list and going on a mystery tour of the Isle of Wight, my first visit.

 

[helston90]

Target of 3500 miles of which I've done 2106 putting me 400 miles behind target. I blame my new born baby- forgot to factor in 3 weeks without riding.
I did promise myself 2 sportives too and the second is next Sunday- so hopefully I'll be able to tick that one off.

 

[RAYMOND]

Regular cycling, to get out more during winter months, also to do 50 milers so I'm ready for some sportives next year.
And on a running note..get under 22 minutes this year.
Managed the run at 21.58 s
Also 3... 50 milers under my belt so going to plan.

i was defo goin to get to the summit of Sweden's highest mountain this summer, a few km's in a sprained my ankle oh well few years time i will plan some big tour up there by bike or van and then climb it

going on a mystery tour of the Isle of Wight, my first visit.

went to the isle of white for a week or so with my school a few years back and it is a beautiful place! we took a boat tour round the needles which is well worth paying for, i will return one day by bike

And on a running note..get under 22 minutes this year.
Managed the run at 21.58 s

what distance is this run that your target is <20mins for?
Cheers Ed

 

[RAYMOND]

Not under 20 minutes, it was to get under 22 minutes and I did it at 21 minutes and 58 seconds..I'll never get under 20 minutes..the distance is 5k.. or 3 miles parkrun

According to Strava I've managed 2,214.7 miles this year which is more than I might have anticipated on 1st March

I'd like to have my average consistently at 14mph (bearing in mind I am always riding in traffic) and get to 2500+ miles this year

Oh and no more tumbles this year / no more whacking my injured leg after yesterday's bizarre incident! @jefmcg

oh dear, what did you do yesterday? i know you tumbled shortly after you left @jefmcg on a ride and ended up rather bad but that was a while ago?
you WILL manage 2,500 miles with ease!
