在本赛季初，我们所有人都有目标。世界是我们的牡蛎，我们可以自由选择我们想要的任何种族。设定我们想要的任何目标；和dream as big as we can。我在每个赛季开始时挑战我的运动员，以设定系统的目标，分为三类：结果，表现和过程。
很容易对您的兴奋结果目标, which are the end results of your effort, like winning your age group, or qualifying for a world championship. The problem with only setting outcome goals is that you don’t have complete control over them. You might work your tush off, have the best race of your life, and still not achieve your outcome goals because someone else showed up that day and beat you.
所以下一步是设置performance goals.您对绩效目标的控制要比对结果目标的控制要多得多，因为他们不依赖其他人。您的表现方式完全是个人的。这些目标的例子是在半程马拉松比赛中进行8:00的速度，完成一个铁人，或将FTP（功能阈值功率）增加到X瓦。
To reach your performance goals, I have my athletes set过程目标。您可以完全控制自己的过程目标，因为它们是您的行动；它们是日常，每周的每周方法，可让您为自己创造问责制。
因此，假设您在年初做了功课，并设定了适当的目标。那是简单的部分。现在，您正在赛季中期，现在该回顾您的目标并进行调整了。即使您以某种方式避免了所有的生活压力和不可预测性，仍然有一些事情可以改善。
一年中大约在这个时候，运动员进入了三个一般的进步类别：
1.在赛季初概述的目标方面，您还没有取得太大的进步。
First of all, don’t stress. If you find yourself in this category, and you’ve followed through with your process goals, you simply either have to lower your outcome and performance goals, or increase/adjust your process goals. Add in an additional day of strength training per week. Bump yourself up into a faster lane in your masters group.30分钟前上床睡觉。该类别的最重要因素是诚实地诚实您所做的事情感到舒适，然后变得不舒服。
2.您已经超出了本赛季的目标。
很好！提前计划感觉很好。该小组的挑战是不要自满。为了使自己进入这一类别，您要么设定适当的目标，因为当时的信息并真正努力地推动了自己的目标，或者您的目标太保守了。
No matter how you got here, making adjustments is the only way to keep making progress. Your process goals are working, so you need to set higher performance and outcome goals. If you have a tendency to set conservative, easily reachable goals, you may be holding yourself back. Don’t be afraid of failure. Challenge yourself to set your next round of goals 5-10% higher than where you would normally set them. Give yourself the opportunity to reach new limits.
3.您可以按计划完成目标。
Congratulations! Not only did you set appropriate goals, but you’ve stayed committed to the process. If you’ve done everything right to get here, staying focused and committed is already something you’ve proven capable of, so your challenge is to keep going.
但是，步入正轨并不总是表明您不需要进行调整。此类别可能是最具挑战性的，因为尚不清楚您可以进行哪种调整。您正在做得很好，但是您会做得更好吗？总是有一些需要学习的东西，无论是关于培训，新技术还是关于您自己的东西。任何运动中最成功的运动员都在不断地试图弄清楚如何领先游戏，而不是跟进。
说实话
在评估which category you’re in, be honest about whether or not you have been consistent with your过程目标。回顾一下并确定您是否实现了结果目标很容易 - 您要么赢得比赛，要么没有赢得比赛。还要弄清楚您是否达到了性能目标也相对简单。您是否需要想要的8:00步伐？你跌倒了吗？还是您从水中吹出并跑出7:30？
Process goals, on the other hand, take a bit more digging, and a bit more humility to own up to. But it is impossible to determine their efficacy, and their alignment with your performance and outcome goals, if you only do them sometimes. Process goals are meant to be followed through on, all of the time.
因此，如果您发现自己属于与您预期的不同类别，并且您并没有始终如一地遵循您的流程目标，那么这是一个很好的起点。每周两次练习游泳训练，每天晚上睡8个小时，做你的动态拉伸before every run, or stay committed to strength training. Whatever your process goal is, make sure it’s every day, every week, every time. Once you’ve checked that box, you can then make an accurate assessment of whether or not these process goals are systematically leading you in right direction.
