2006 Resolutions and Objectives
..
Running resolutions are things I'd like to change rather than my objectives.
Weight
On 1/1/05 I was 105kg. On 1/1/06 I was 95kg. Prior to my departure to Morocco 5/4/06 I will be 89kg and on 1/7/06 I will be 85kg
Speed
I didn't do any fast running in 2005. I will introduce more quality into my program. One 10km time trial per week by 1 Feb. adding one shorter interval session per week by 1 April
Endurance
Nine 160km training weeks in 2006
Ten months over 400km in 2006
Strength
Improve core strength. eight sessions per month from Feb
Improve my quad strength. eight sessions per month from Feb
Flexibility
Touch my toes by 1 March
Free Days
8 internet free days per month
16 alcohol free days per month
1 sleep free night per month
That’s a good start.. Will probably upgrade on the blog as we progress through January.
If I do these things they will help me meet my running objectives for 2006.

Happy New Year Brendan !
That is a very impressive set of objectives; I think I need to go and write myself a list.
All the best for 2006
Hi Brendan,
It was great to meet and run with you at the Barrenjoey STaR. All the best for your goals for 2006, see you at Six Foot.
You had a great year in 2005 Brendan. And it seems you have planned to do better in 2006. Good luck with it all.
Hey Brendan! thankyou for the kind words of support mate! Its always cool to know that someone out there understands!! keep up with the running and training....i'm back on track today so off out in about 5 mins! a nice 6.50am start :) regards, Alan
Good luck with the MDS, thanks for the comments on my blog. Hope you reach your goals. I look forward to reading about your progress.
Hey Brendan! keep at it chummer! be careful with them weights....i had to lighten mine a little while i was getting used to more distance. once that settles i will be adding more weight again and hopefully will then be running on full pack weight (around 10kg) - but hey man, dont forget, come look me up at the base camp and say hello! :) good luck with your training and keep at it!
Alan
