What Are You Planning For?

The holidays are over and it is now time to kick your training into gear. It's time to throw the tree out the door and replace it with your treadmill or bike trainer and get after it!


By now you already have an idea of what you are looking forward to in 2015 and put it on your training calendar. Go ahead and register for these events if you haven't already because most big races are already excepting registration and the rates will go up soon! By committing to your goal now, you make it official that this is what you are planning for.

So once you have registered, you need to get your plan together on how you are going to work towards your goal. There are several online training plans to help get you started but if you are looking to get a more personalized training plan, look into finding a private coach to help you effectively achieve your goal.

You now have your goal, you have registered for your key race(s), and you even have a coach and/or a training plan to help you achieve your goal! Now it's time to get to work!! As I tell my athletes "The only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time" so be patient with your training and little by little you will see progress over time. Make this year a great one by getting it started in the right direction to take your training and racing to the next level and you will be celebrating at the Finish Line before you know it! Happy New Year and good luck!
