Thinking of setting two fitness goals for 2018, and starting them this week.

Posted by Beryllium (aka grayman) Dec 15 '17, 16:24

Not sure what level to set.

Hardcore would be:

2000KM cycling by 2018-12-31 (5.5km/day)
500KM running by 2018-12-31 (1.4km/day)

Medium would be half that:

1000KM cycling by 2018-12-31 (2.7km/day)
250KM running by 2018-12-31 (0.7km/day)

but those per-day numbers would add up if I had to skip for travel or health reasons, so maybe it should be lower. I dunno.

Maybe a series of monthly goals?

Goal #1: Set a goal. Goal #2: aaaah, too hard. -- nm - Mop Dec 15, 17:44
The annual bike riding goal has kept me going. Otherwise I'd probably ride twice a year. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nog Dec 15, 16:53
You can of course still do the running when travelling, or swap it for walking. -- nm - Karl_S Dec 15, 16:51 1
- Technically possible, but typically extremely uncomfortable. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 16:55
The medium cycling part is easy enough. But weekly goal might be less intimidating. - . Dec 15, 16:43 2
- I think monthly goals that go up slightly every month. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 15, 16:46 1

I’m getting a bike for Christmas. Time to start doing something. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 15, 16:37 1
- If I got an upgraded bike, it would be a whole lot easier to hit mileage goals, but half the battle has nothing to do with the bike :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 16:38
Super Hardcore: leap from building and crash through *two* plate glass windows. -- nm - Max Dec 15, 16:29
Pro-tip: start Jan 2nd. Anything started before Christmas is likely doomed to failure -- nm - Beaker Dec 15, 16:28 5
- Though given that the stated goals are to be completed by Dec 31, 2018...starting now allows for two+ extra weeks to accomplish the goal 8-) -- nm - JD Dec 15, 16:30 4
  - Yep. And the goal is to warm up into a routine. Hell, I haven't walked more than a kilometre in a month. - Beryllium Dec 15, 16:37 3
    - have a beer and eat a bag of chips and think about it overnight. -- nm - Beaker Dec 15, 17:16
    - If you do foresee a bunch of time lost to traveling, you might want to scale the running back. - JD Dec 15, 16:45 1
      - Thanks, good idea. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 16:47
