Before you head to the start line of your next race, be sure you have goals set! Whether you are newbie or defending age group champ- it is important to know what you are trying to do when you compete. Before all of my client's race, I have them send me their A, B and C goals as described below:
C Goal- One that you should pretty easily be able to achieve, barring any unforeseen circumstances. You will be happy if you achieve this. (ie- finish the race- for a beginner)
B Goal- A challenging goal that is possible, but things will need to go well and it might be tough. You will be really excited if you reach this goal. (ie- finish the entire race without walking)
A Goal- A "better than you really think you can do, but if you do you will be super-duper ecstatic goal!" Everything will need to fall perfectly into place- weather, nutrition, sleep, etc to achieve this. (ie- run the entire race and break 30 minutes for my first 5K)
Follow this practice the next time you race, and start knocking out those goals!
