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?
