This may sound very simple but the process of moving the post-its was very satisfying and a great visual reiteration of movement towards the main goals. It didn’t take long for me to start to achieve the process goals and I had the satisfaction of moving the post-its into the DONE section of the flip chart. Obviously the DONE section is empty at this point – but not for long! I put the flip chart on the wall of my study where I would see it every day. I then divide a piece of flip chart paper into four sections – one for each of the goals and then a DONE section and stick the post-it into the corresponding section. Once I have decided on my main, process and sub goals I write them on post-it notes – one goal per post-it.
I managed to achieve this and our team won the team gold medal! In the end I only had one sub goal, which was to be one of the point scorers for my running club in the local county cross country championships. My process goals were: keep kayaking through the winter, try kayaking on an indoor kayaking machine, take mountain biking skills lessons (some races were off-road), run cross country races in the winter and the smallest – wear in my new racing trainers (for some reason I liked the comfort blanket of my old trainers and had been putting off racing in new ones!).įinally I had my sub goals, which were really my B type goals, so things I wanted to achieve but I wouldn’t get hung up if I didn’t. These can be any size goal, even really small. I then had a number of process goals, which are goals to help you achieve your main goals. These two targets were my focus and the reason I would be committing to hours of training through the cold winter months.

Last year I had two main goals 1) Win the British Quadrathlon Championship race 2) Win the British Quadrathlon Race Series title. I divide my goals into three groups: Main Goals, Process Goals and Sub Goals. There is no point in just setting yourself up for failure. The goal should push you, so that you are motivated to work towards it but it should be achievable. Then you can start to plan the training you need to do to meet this goal. Start to consider what your aims and goals will be for 2018, whether it is a particular race or sportive, getting a PB or doing Couch to 5K. The rest period, at the end of a sports season, is a great opportunity to reflect on the past year and begin to plan.
Maybe it can help you achieve your own goals.Īt the end of my race season I take time to evaluate how things went, review some learning points and think about setting my objectives for the next season. There are many different methods of working towards your goals but I use a really simple one involving flip chart paper and post-it notes, which I’d like to share with you.

The goals were ambitious but I knew that years of doing triathlons would give me a good grounding in three quarters of the race and over the years I had also learnt how to build mental strength that would help me achieve my aims. Coming from a triathlon background, I had only raced one quadrathlon before and started kayaking just last spring. This year I had two main goals for my first quadrathlon (swim/kayak/bike/run) season: to win the British Championship in May and win the British Race Series, which rewards consistency over the whole quadrathlon season. Former World Duathlon Champion Helen Russell describes how she approaches her goals and how that affects her sporting success. When it comes to sport, setting goals is a major factor when it comes to success.
