It is not known if Aristotle spent time running cross country in his native Greece. Perhaps not. But his wisdom on goal setting should still be ours. This season, your life (and the team’s life) will only have meaning if we are reaching out and striving for goals.

As a sport, distance running is based upon the premise of constant improvement. Runners are always striving to push their bodies to better and better performances. Good goal setting can be a powerful force guiding that effort. This year, we want each individual on the team to have clearly defined goals driving their performance. And, of course, we would like our time to be driven likewise.

YOUR GOALS: Your goals relate directly to the expectations you have for your own performance. You need to decide what you need to reach out and strive for this year. Good goal setting is steeped in a strong understanding of where you are and where you want to go.
