Get A Goal

Page 3: Choosing a different goal

 Previous Page | Next Page

Of course your challenges need not all be event based. To slim down to a certain size or to train a certain number of times a week can also give you focus. But events can be useful as they give you a specific date for a specific goal.

It can be very useful to train with someone as you aim for your goal. Even if your partner is aiming for something different you will find yourselves encouraging and motivating one another.

Make sure you give yourself every chance to succeed. If you have a definite goal then if you are feeling really tired or fighting off a bug you have no need to feel guilty about backing off the training for a week. You know it is better to do this and be back to normal training next week rather than wiping yourself out and taking the risk of putting your goal in jeopardy. And be properly equipped.

There may be days when you head out for a run when it is cold and wet, a weatherproof but breathable running jacket will make the world of difference. Feeling like Worzel Gummidge when you walk into the gym is not going to help. Wearing breathable, technical fabrics that are cut to allow your body to move in all the ways it needs to and that look the part will make you feel like going to succeed. Make sure everything helps you towards your goal.

The key is that whether it is you or someone else asking ‘Why are you doing this?’ as you pull on your training shoes you know the answer and can recall all the things you have already achieved.
