OK. Goals for the year...
Plan is to focus on longer distances rather than 10k and less.
So, half marathon in 73 mins, marathon sub 2:45 and something respectable in The Wall for 69 miles.
Probably most important to enjoy the years running with a good crowd of like minded people and eat lots of curries, burgers and chocolate washed down with the beers.
And being injury free.
2016 was OK'ish... pbs at the shorter distances so now focus more on the longer races.

I only started running again after years of neglect a year ago and if someone had said I would run a sub 24 min parkrun, numerous 10ks and run a half marathon I wouldve laughed in their face.
Being part of a running group has helped an awful lot with the variety it brings as well as meeting other runners.
The running group is associated with North Shields Poly so my aim is to join them so it will allow me to compete in the harrier league next year. I wont be quick but from what I have seen it looks great.
My goal this year is to regulary run sub 24 min parkruns, sub 50 min 10k and a 1hr 50 half.

I did 15:57, 32:47 and 1:14:00 within a couple of months in 2016 so all those are very close to what you are looking at. All on the back of marathon training over spring then faster stuff in the summer. Good luck... injury free I am sure you can do it.
Thanks. Should probably join a club at some point

Cheers, our PBs are very similar. I'm at 16.03, 32.52 and 74.04. I did all mine in a little purple patch last spring. Hoping for another this spring.
Best of luck yourself

In October I did the Oxford Half Marathon in 2:23. My goal this year is to get the time down to 2:10 in a timed event (hopefully GNR). I haven't been out for a run in over a week and now carrying extra weight since following Christmas (but still healthy weight) so will have a gentle 10/11km tomorrow to blow the conwebs off.

Steady 12km this morning at 6min/km. I was surprised how easy it was when I finished, could have definitely gone on for longer. Whey, easy apart from the first 10 minutes when I went arse over bloody tit on a slippery path. Luckily no-one saw, which I'm pleased about because it was a proper comedy fall.

Goals for this year are to complete my 1st attempt at an ultra (30 miles)
I beat my PB for every distance except 5K last year so once the ultra is over I'm probably going to spend some time specifically training for 5K.

My goal for this year is 10km. Not setting a time limit for it atm. Starting the C25K tomorrow again - tried it last year until I got lazy and ill. Probably start on week 5 or 6 and get going and once I've done the 5km, going to step up to the 10km.
