2025 targets

[mjd1988]

The much missed @theboxers used to do a yearly goals thread, felt wrong not to have one now.

If anyone has any mileage or specific goals inside (any app) or outside feel free to post and track it here.

 

[mjd1988]

I don't have much in the way of specific goals; broadly I'd like to

A) keep weight below 85kg
B) get more weekend outside rides if kids finally sleep
C) get at least one century ride

^^^^^This could be me. Exactly !! But: Strava tells me I’ve done 1200+ miles of walking and 1100+ miles of Cycling in 2024. (Not finished either yet 😁).

I didn’t start cycling again properly until April (?). And only got our puppy in January - so didn’t / wasn’t allowed to start doing decent walks with her until perhaps May onwards.

So…….

Walking may increase slightly. Maybe aim for 1500 miles for the year.

Cycling - I’d like to think I’ll do ‘alot’ more. Summer weekends always consisting of some time spent in the saddle. So maybe double that to 2000 miles.

Good point I actually hadn't even looked at my mileage for this year... definitely need to go outside more...

You need to get out more !!! **In the nicest possible way 😁

6033 in 2024, summer energy crises to blame - so I need a better winter

 

[numbnuts]

If I don't go out for a ride today or tomorrow I'll start calling myself a non-cyclist as I haven't been out all year

 

[derrick]

Need to do better than i did this year, would love to get back to the miles i used to do, but we shaii see, to much other stuff going on. did do a lot of walking this year, so that was good.

On the 21st of December I'd have aimed to win the track league and several long-distance events.

Since then my key aim is to get outside on the bike, which I hope to do by Easter. Hand rehab starts shortly. Track league is gone but I've booked a tour at the end of June. Until then it's indoor miles only.

No chocolate in 2025. Mrs Legs and I managed it in 2006, but, with children now, it might be a bit tougher this time around.

I put on 4lb over Christmas so I want to get rid of that.

I’d like to get back up to 330W for 20 minutes.

But no 1 aim is a sub-17 minute parkrun in 2025. Running training starts tomorrow!

 

[steveindenmark]

1. Retire before June.
2. Cycle Denmark end to end.
3. Ride my Royal Enfirld to Gibralter

What happened?

What happened?

Basically I chopped part of my right-hand index finger off and then crushed the chopped part. Accidentally. They've re-attached what they can and I'm in recovery & rehab. I have to keep it elevated and it'll be bandaged for some time whilst we try to save it.

Another perspective is that my weight-saving measures went a bit too far!

Ouch. Hope you GWS with no lasting issues.

Cripes ! Bet that made your eyes water 😳

Best of luck with everything going forward…….
