Goals

My immediate goal is to get faster, stronger and more competitive against quality runners. My long-term goal is to qualify in the 5000m for major championships, beginning with the 1998 Commonwealth Games. I have not competed on the track for two years, therefore, with the proper training I feel some of my times are ready to be destroyed! Over the next 12 months I plan on doing the proper training. Time wise I intend on running below 13 minutes and 40 seconds for 5000m, below 8 minutes for 3000m and below 3 minutes and 40 seconds for 1500m in the 1998 track season. Watch out for me, the best is yet to come!
