For the short term, my goals are to run regularly and consistently, week in and week out, so that it becomes a habitual part of my weekly routine. I would like to be running regularly again, recovering properly and feeling like my fitness overall is improving as a by-product of the better habits that running is producing. At this point, I am not too bothered about personal bests or running fast, more about building habits and getting back into the swing of things – I do think that as the weeks progress I may want to run a ParkRun or something small but I do not have any races planned or desired currently.
Long term, I would like to run a marathon again – this is thinking more into next year and beyond – as I have ran long distances in the past and believe that is where I derive a lot of the enjoyment. I have also competed a long time ago in ultramarathons and off-road ultra marathons which I enjoyed immensely, so long term I would like to take part in some of the long-distance trail races that take place in the Peak District (often around 50km).
