Additionally, having multiple goals is important! You need more than one goal to push you through your race if you’re having an off day. We HOPE the stars align perfectly for you, but the reality is that won’t happen every time. Set yourself up for success by having four separate goals!

.

A GOAL:

⭐ If all the stars align

⭐ Best possible weather

⭐ Best possible pacing

⭐ No fueling issues

⭐ Realistic based on your training

.

B GOAL:

👍 A very good performance

👍 Keeps you focused even though it’s not your best day ever

👍 If you make a minor pacing error

👍 Weather is a little off

.

C GOAL:

👌 An alright performance

👌 Keeps you focused on an off-day

👌 If you make some pacing errors

👌 Weather is not good

.

D GOAL:

✅ An off-day

✅ Keeps you focused to get to the finish line as fast as possible

✅ Can be a non-time based goal like finishing strong, not walking, etc.
