and accurately assess where you are, and then deciding to act on it moving forward.
Question: What is the ONE THING that will make the most profound difference in you achieving what you
want to achieve?!

Where Do You Want To Go?
Planning FOR Your Best Season EVER….
….means doing all you can do NOW…
…to ensure you are ready to achieve all you want to achieve next season, and
beyond?

• Improve weaknesses vs. reinforcing strengths
• Prioritize events: A > B > C
• Running, then everything else…
• Multiple “seasons” within a single season
• Object centered approach: what is most important?

Sample Athlete: Annual Planning
Annual Planning: Who Is This Triathlete? • I’ve reviewed the GA options and do want to consider that. We are tightening the belt some. I
couldn’t justify this expense right now. • Injuries/Ailments: Have some minor/nagging right knee pain otherwise no issues at this time or
major ones from the past. Knee pain hasn’t slowed me down. I consider myself pretty tough - not afraid of pain or training smart/hard.
• Swimming: I consider myself an average swimmer. Best swim time for 2.4m is 1:16• Cycling: I really would like to get stronger on the bike. My best IM bike time is 6:15. Would like to
shave 30 minutes off that time and still be fit to RUN a marathon.• Running: I feel this is my strongest of the 3 disciplines. 3:50 marathon is my best in IM no stops.
Probably good benefit most from speed work. • Strength: Need lots of core work - not a big fan of it though :). I don’t have a good routine.• Flexibility: I have done yoga but not consistently. I do see value in how yoga improves overall
performance and would like to incorporate (access to Pilates classes too).• Nutrition: Need a complete overhaul here. Had my best success with carbopro. But like most
nutritional supplements you can only take the taste for so long.• I only followed a real training plan for my first (best) IM…IMAZ in 11:36:05. • For my next 3, I made up my training plan based on research, thinking I knew more than I did and in
hindsight I suffered. • I feel I have mastered the ability to make an IM harder than it actually has to be. • My goal for IMMT is to get to the start line healthy and fit to have a shot at a PR. My best IM time
is 11:36:05. I would love to see a sub 11 hour IM. • I have a pretty flexible schedule and very supportive family.
