Goals and targets

After this year's failed attempt, I want to ensure that I am physically ready for the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge in 2014. With that in mind here are some initial targets and goals (with more to follow!)

1a Be able to walk at an average 4 mph over a 5k distance. Did 3.7 mph on Saturday - details. I think this is important as we will have to average over 2 mph over the hills to complete the challenge in the required 12 hours. My local area is flat, so 4 mph is a must.

1b Extend above speed to a 8 mile route. Current best is 3.4 mph.

2a Drop to 77.5 kg by 20th December (I know this will go back up over Christmas!)

2b Drop to sub 75 kg by Easter and maintain until June and beyond.

3a Be able to run 5k by mid Janaury (currently working through the couch to 5k programme, so on target)

3b Be able to run 5k in sub 35 mins

3c Be able to run 10k by Easter

4a Be able to walk around Rutland Water (Short route - 17 miles) in less than 5.5 hours, before the end of this year
