PLAN YOUR YEAR
The New Year can be an exciting time, as we all embark on new or improved fitness and health regimes. Your intentions may be impressive, your motivation feverishly high.
There may even be a flurry in your bank account as you purposefully enter a spring half, full marathon or a summer 10K. Once the good will of the New Year begins to fade, however, keeping your resolutions and making those start lines can start to feel like more of a challenge. Using the strategy of goal-setting can keep you training throughout spring, until that medal is hung around your neck.
Goal-setting is a successful strategy employed by elite athletes to enhance their performance. You can use it, too. It’s successful as it focuses your attention and makes your training more specific. Without goals, your steady runs will stay steady, you may lose your mojo or even drift away from running altogether.
Most runners have long-term goals, or A goals, such as a marathon in spring. This is your outcome goal. Running a half marathon or 10-mile race during the build-up is your B goal. C goals are short-term aims, such as completing two, three or four runs per week, and even focusing on specific strategies for each of these sessions. Achieving your shortterm goals will improve your confidence in your ability to accomplish your A goal
