169: 2024 Training: Wrapped

As the new year approaches, many people focus on setting resolutions or goals for the coming year. But this time is also a great time to reflect on how things went for you this year. In this episode, we break down how to do an athlete self-assessment to recap your year, and how to use that to help you set goals for the future. If you'd like to do your own self-assessment, here are the questions we suggest: 1. GOALS - What were my goals? Were they reasonable? Did I meet them? - Do I still care about this goal? - What factors played a role? 2. TRAINING - Were you consistent? - What plan did you use and did it work? - What were your strengths? - What can you improve on? (THIS is a great place to start thinking about base-building goals) - What type of training did you like most? When did you have the most fun? - What type of training did you dread or avoid? 3. LIFE - Did you have any major life changes/events this year? - How balanced did you feel? - How did you navigate this balance - Any periods you’d want to shift/reconsider in future years? - Any races or distances you’d want to shift/reconsider in future years? This is just a start!
