There is a quick tip in Cyclo-Club this week dedicated to setting short term goals. “Short-term goals complete your long term goal.” You all know that my long-term goal: be in the best shape of my life for the Ronde van Vlaanderen sportiff and specifically increase my explosive power.”
My goal is about six months away, so I will only get there by focusing on many short-term goals. Last month, my unstated short term goal: get back into core training after a summer of neglect. Well, I focused on it and quickly made meaningful strides in my core fitness. In fact, see my earlier post on the plank.
One of my short-term goals for the month of October: Master the Breathing Techniques set forth in Cyclo-Secrets.
Second short-term goal for October: Concentrate on nutrition by focusing on meal planning.
Third short-term goal for October: Increase upper body and back strength
And last but not least, don’t neglect my core!
