Скачать или смотреть How to self evaluate and assess goals in real time (My full lockdown running log)

This video is to help show the full unedited process of setting and achieving or not achieving goals.

Self evaluation and recording or measuring are vital to help you stay on track. This can be done like I have here in video format, written out on paper or by using other forms of technology.

Motivation is always easier at the start of any journey but tends to fade over time. It’s important to have a process that you can focus on. For me that was to just get out and put the miles in as often as possible and record what I had done.

By focusing on the process you will be amazed by the outcome and results you will achieve further down the line.

Here are timestamps of a few key points over the month period.

00:00 Full lockdown running log

04:07 Motivational help and support from Strava & the importance of recording runs (encouraged to run outside)

05:24 Not hitting your goal. (Do you set same goals again next week or change your goal to be more attainable)

06:40 Motivation has started to drop, but managed to continue to get out and run (just do it, no excuses and get started)

07:50 Be flexible and change goals if needed (thought a rest day was required but ended up running)

09:03 Be consistent - managed 7 days in a row of running (recording has kept motivation high)

09:57 Reaching goals and setting new ones - longest run of 5 miles. Set new goal of 10 miles but want to make sure I build up gradually. Stepping stone goals will be to reach 10% more each week.

11:45 Longest run 5.9miles (struggling with the weather conditions)

13:02 Struggling with recovery (body starting to feel it more)

14:04 Reflection on running motivation - more focused on outcome over process (starting to feel more disheartened if target wasn’t reached)

14:36 Managing work load, and impact on body (hips and legs)

16:06 Last day in lockdown challenge, back to work tomorrow (goal to keep running after) 3 times a week when back to work.
