In this episode of Chasing Pr's we talk about process goals and outcome goals, and how to use them to improve as a runner.

There are two types of goals that people often set for themselves: process goals and outcome goals.

Process goals focus on the actions and behaviours that are necessary to achieve the desired result. These goals are specific and measurable, and they focus on the steps that need to be taken to reach a goal rather than just the end result. Examples of process goals might include things like running a certain number of miles per week, increasing your pace by a certain amount, or working on your form.

Outcome goals, on the other hand, focus on the end result that you want to achieve. These goals might include things like running a certain time in a race, losing a certain amount of weight, or improving your overall fitness level.

Both types of goals can be helpful in different ways. Process goals can be especially useful for maintaining motivation and staying on track because they provide a sense of progress and accomplishment along the way. Outcome goals, on the other hand, can be more motivating because they give you a clear target to aim for and help you to visualize your ultimate goal.

In general, it can be helpful to have both types of goals in your training plan. Process goals can help you stay motivated and focused on the small steps that are necessary to reach your ultimate outcome goals, while outcome goals can provide a sense of direction and a long-term target to work towards.
