Training targets for 2011

Distance:
In 2010 I have seen my mileage increase from my previous highest of 400 miles last year (2009) to well over 600 miles this year. My target for next year is to get up nearer to 800 miles. Injuries permitting this should be achievable by running the same kind of distances as I do each week at the moment. This year I only started running in April, so 800 miles should be about right for a full year.

Frequency:
I started my running in 2010 at 1 or 2 times a week. I would hope to average closer to 3 times a week throughout 2011.

Personal best for a Single Lap of the perimeter of the park (1.75 miles):
In 2009 my personal best for a single lap of the park was 10:37.
In 2010 I have improved this time to 9:45 (just over 2 weeks ago!).
In 2011 my target is to improve this to below 9:30 and possibly even down to 9:20, but I think that is a really tough target.

Personal best for 3 Laps of the perimeter of the park (5.25 miles):
In 2009 my personal best was 33:26.
In 2010 I have improved this time on 5 occasions resulting in my current best of 31:22. I now run each lap far faster than my previous best for a single lap prior to this year.
In 2011 my target is to improve this time to under 31 minutes. I think this will be tough.

Freedom parkruns:
My current PB for a freedom parkrun is 18:54, only 40 seconds outside my current parkrun PB.
I would like to get this down below 18:30 in 2011.

My training challenges for this year are:
- Single park lap: 9:30
- Three park laps: 31:00
- Freedom parkrun: 18:30
