SMARTer goals

In my previous post, I alluded to my goals for the next few months. Well, in order to acheive them they need to be more SMART. So, here goes:

1. Improve my 10k time by 5 minutes before the end of the summer season (let's say end of July). So let's start from my Flitwick 10k time of 58:57 and get it down to under 54 minutes. %-wise that means going from 50.74% to 55.45% (according to this age grading website)

2. In the New York marathon, (November 2nd) run sub 4:30. Ideally I'd be sub 4:20 but let's see how it goes and amend nearer the time!

3. By my sister's wedding (15 August) be more slim :-). I'm not going to reveal where I am starting from but:
3a x-10% by 22 June (that's 10 weeks after London marathon)
3b x-20% by 15 August
