Short-Term Running Goals:

Summer:

build to up 70+ miles per week, occasional core and races, follow Jake's school's summer training plan until about August when I'll focus more on the half marathon; new goal: under 17 for 5k. 16:30 for 5k by the end of the summer


 Fall:

By next October I'm shooting to be under 1:20 for an Albany, NY half marathon.

Otherwise, just keeping up the miles so that I'm healthy, and possibly competitive, for a long time to come.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Eventually I would like to run a marathon, hopefully going under 3 hours, maybe significantly so. I'll think about that one when it's more in sight. I hope to continue improving my 5k time in the meantime.

Personal:

I'm an undergraduate at Brown University and part of the running club there. I'm told I should read Once a Runner, especially now that it's in print again... We'll see if that happens. Ok, so I read it, haha. It's awesome.

Not upset. I mean my training isn't exactly conservative until i get this weight off. It is a trial by fire for like 2 months before I do what I think is really good training. You have plenty of time but just don't forget that you don't get fast by doing 10 miles hard. You get fast by recovering from that effort. But I can't imagine that you will be able to keep that kind of stuff up day after day especially when it gets hot. Remember to take it very easy on your easy days.
