http://www.yourrunning.com/forum-slash_11mins_off_10k_pb

Q: Hi Simon, I read your were like 53 but sounds like your going on 23. :) Can you enlighten me on how you managed to slash 11mins off your 10K P.B?
Regards, Nev

...only sometimes I feel like 63, heh heh :)

How do you know if a goal is out of reach, or not?

Fellow-Brit Nev Johnson has got me thinking with his posts here. First he asked me to outline how I managed to take 11 minutes off my 10k time in a year.

My first item in my list was "Set a clear, quantifiable goal that I was really, really excited about."

Nev came back with the comment: "Most people would say that your goal was way out of reach."

That got me pondering again. How do you know if a goal is achievable or not?
