Now that the Christmas madness is over and I can't leave my house because there's 18 inches of snow on the ground, I've had some time to think about my running goals and target races for 2011. Setting running goals is a great way to stay motivated to run, and the start of a new year is the perfect time to think about what you want to accomplish. Here are some tips for setting attainable goals:
自從圣誕節(jié)狂歡結(jié)束之后,我就沒法外出了,這都是因為外面18英寸的積雪。不過,這倒是使我有時間可以考慮自己的2011年跑步目標。制訂跑步目標是一個很好的保持跑步動力的方法,而新年伊始也是考慮你想要完成的計劃的絕佳時間。我這兒就有一些制訂合理目標的建議:
Choose realistic goals. Don't set yourself up for failure.Your chances of achieving your goals are much better if they're realistic. Of course, it's always fun and inspiring to dream, but try breaking your ultimate goal up into more manageable, realistic goals that could lead you to it. For example, you're not going to run a sub-25:00 5K if your current personal record is 35:00, but you can start taking steps toward getting faster.
一、選定可行的目標:別設定你完成不了的目標。如果目標現(xiàn)實可行,那么你能完成的可能性會高得多。當然了,夢想總是有趣且激動人心的,不過還是嘗試去打破那些更容易指引你做到的、可行的終極目標吧。比如說,如果你目前跑5000米的個人紀錄是35分鐘,那么就不要作在25分鐘之內(nèi)跑完的打算,但你可以開始朝更快的目標努力。
Don't take on too much. If you have too many goals, you'll burn yourself out and may not accomplish any of them, leaving you feeling disappointed and defeated. Instead, focus on a few key goals and the steps you need to take to reach them.
二、不要貪多。如果你的目標太多,那么只會精疲力盡,而且恐怕哪一個目標也完成不了,這樣的結(jié)果就是感到失望和挫敗。反之,你應該關(guān)注少數(shù)的幾個關(guān)鍵目標,并且按照你的需要逐步達到。
