My running goals for 2006

1500 5:20
3000 11:10
5000 19:00
10000 39:15
Half Marathon 87:30
I won’t race a marathon but I do plan to run the Canberra marathon in just under 4:00.

How am I going to do this?

. The 1500s won't be "raced" either, I will use them to get rhythm and speed for the longer races. If I feel really good running 1500s, I will ease off for one (eg in a relay?) and see what I can do. Under 5:00 would be nice.

. I should really be able to get the 3000 down below 11 mins, but I haven't done so recently so why should it happen now? Also the 5000 should be a lot faster, but my 10k results have been relatively slower in recent years and I really need to focus now on running a faster 10k if I am to break three hours for the marathon in 2008 (i.e. when I'm sixty).

. Training will build up to 110k per week and all current speed sessions will be maintained. That should do it.
