Whether we realise it or not we all set goals. Some of us are vocal about these goals while others choose to keep them personal. The disadvantage of making a goal public is that this adds a degree of pressure to the achievement of it.
By simply saying I am going to run to get fit you are setting a goal. many of us fail to achieve our goals not because we are not capable but simply because we failed to plan. The old saying "We don't plan to fail we fail to plan" holds very true.
Step one.
•Set a goal/Select the race.
•Identify barriers to achievement of the goal.
•Plan the program.
•Do the time.
•Identify barriers to achievement of the goal.
•Plan the program.
•Do the time.
Next ask yourself what are the barriers to me achieving this goal? These can include but are certainly not limited to those listed below.
•Days that I can train.
•Times that I can train.
•How long I can train for.
•Family commitments.
•Work commitments.
Once these are thought through Organise your training program and remember to...
•Be flexible with your program.
•Set aside an appropriate time of the day for training.
* Does it fit in with other commitments.
* Is it a time when I feel like training.
* Do I need to have a variety of times to train on differing days.
•Set aside an appropriate time of the day for training.
* Does it fit in with other commitments.
* Is it a time when I feel like training.
* Do I need to have a variety of times to train on differing days.
Now plan away and enjoy your journey.
