My Progress and Goals for 2025

I was hoping to do vlogs but it appears I am not very good at that, also it is usually good to have some exciting content to post... and well with me it is mostly the same each week. I ate meat, I ran slowly (except for parkrun) and I was building on being consistent. 

And really being consistent is my goal for this year. I ideally would like to stay happy and healthy whilst getting some personal bests along the way, I don't know if I will do it but if I love the process it doesn't really matter. 

So what are my goals, both outcome and process? 

  • Run 3000 miles - ideally run, but if I get ill or injured then cross training might have to count. 
  • Consistently strength train 
  • Consistently work on my mental health and training. 
  • Stick to a carnivore diet
  • Continue to learn 
  • Break my 5k PB (17:08)  and ideally run 16:43. The latter because parkrun stopwatch bingo says I only haven't finished in a time with 43 on the end! 
  • Run a half marathon PB (1:25:30 on hilly route), ideally break 1:20! 
So how am I doing on those things on 19th January? Well I haven't yet booked myself on for a half marathon but am getting close. There is a really fast on the 9th March that is fairly close to me, with my goal of sub 80 I want to see myself getting sub 17:20 at parkrun before committing, well ideally but I might just sign up. I have run 17:27 at parkrun and am steadily improving, so only 20 seconds from that PB... but 20 seconds at that pace it a lot and could take me a month or so to get. 

Everything else I am on track, the 17:27 was off 140 miles in 13 days, I have done a lot of strength work, stuck to carnivore and aiming to go dairy free as I can't shift any weight. I am listening to lots of podcasts and books to keep on learning.

Being Given the all Clear

Barefoot Britain by Anna McNuff

I have recently finished this audiobook and it was a good listen. I won't go into my usual level of detail as I didn't learn much from this to share on a running coaching site. Was it a good listen? Yes, Was it about running? Mostly. Was there any coaching tips? Not really. Advice from it? Have a good time, listen to your body and preserver.
