Runners: STOP stressing about your finish time. DO THIS INSTEAD...

How to set running goals that you can actually achieve! In this short video, I’ll be explaining the three different types of goals that runners can use in training and on race day to achieve success.

Discover how process and performance goals will allow you to control the controllable, whereas outcome goals are largely out of your control and should, therefore, get less of our focus.

Whether you’re training for a marathon, half marathon, or perhaps training to complete your first 5k run, it’s important to understand what kind of running goals you should set yourself, and how you can most successfully go about achieving them.

The three types of running goals discussed in this video are:

00:35 - OUTCOME GOALS

An outcome goal is judged based upon the result of an event relative to the desired outcome. Did you podium, did you finish in the top 20% of your age group, or did you beat your best friend? Of course, all of these goals require you to perform well but are not solely reliant on your efforts. You do not control who turns up for the race, or how well your friend performs. These factors are out of your control. That’s why judging yourself based on an outcome goal is unfair and in most cases unrealistic.

01:14 - PERFORMANCE GOALS

A performance goal is set based on an objective outcome, such as a finish time. Your race performance and finish time is a measure of your success which is independent of how those around you perform. This type of goal is far more appropriate for most runners to use… but still has you focusing on the end result, not the process for how you go about reaching this result.

01:58 - PROCESS GOALS

This is what most runners should be focused on… For example, if your goal finish time is 50 minutes (performance goal), then the process should be to run 5min/km for 1km, ten times consecutively. Breaking the performance down into the process required to get there will help you to achieve your running goals by putting all the component parts in place and focusing on achieving each part of the process (each 1km @ 5min/km from our example) step-by-step. The performance and outcome will look after themselves!

I’m sure that this approach to running goal setting will help you in your training and in whatever races you’ve got coming up.

Good luck!
