A goal with a date attached beats a goal with a feeling attached.
General fitness is a weak motivator. An event on a calendar with other people expecting you is a strong one.
Pick something eight to sixteen weeks away that you are not currently able to do: a distance, a climb, a swim, a lift.
Pay the entry fee. That single transaction does more for adherence than any plan.
How to actually do it
- 01Choose the event and check the date is at least eight weeks out.
- 02Pay the entry today.
- 03Tell two people and find one to train with.
You already know if this is the one. Go put a date on it.
