Clear times to aim for in Any% <1hour

I was wondering if anyone has a rough idea of clear times to aim for in Celeste any% run. Currently, my aim is to get a total clear of under 1 hour. I'm not superfast, but I know the general hyperdash / wallbounce etc. I have cleared C-sides etc. So, what I'm looking for, since I currently have a 1:26:00 cleartime, is a breakdown of each chapter's time to aim for considering a total cleartime of an hour. Currently I think I can improve most on summit (22 min lol) and core (11 min)

In that case, here are some landmark times you can use - I calculated this by finding the percentage increase of my total time on my practice file to 1 hour, and increasing all level times by the same percentage.

Forsaken City: 1:47
Old Site: 2:42
Celestial Resort: 8:00
Golden Ridge: 4:55
Mirror Temple: 7:51
Reflection: 8:20
Summit: 16:00
Core: 10:25

This adds up to 1 hour. You may find the required time save easier in some levels than others, so your mileage may vary. Feel free to check out the Celeste discord for tips and strats, the speedrunning community there is very active and helpful :) Good luck hitting your goals!

If you haven't checked out TGH's speedruns yet, you might get a good idea of the individual chapter times from there. His any% was sub 30 I think.

Core is not included in Any% as defined by the Celeste speedrun community, so that could save you 11 minutes rigiht off the bat :)

There is a category that includes 4 hearts & core, "All A-Sides" but there is very little activity on that leaderboard.

That explains a lot :P Guess I still want that <1:00:00 in the journal though, should still be achievable
