Episode Details

Host, Head Coach and Performance Dietitian Chris Newport interviews Coach Ryan in his unique approach to goal setting for endurance athletes, which he calls ENDUP. He was unsatisfied by some of the other goal setting methods, and this one works great for working with endurance athletes, so he's sharing his technique.  

Keep these things in mind when you're working on your goals:

1. A goal is positive. “I will not fail” is negative; “I will finish” is positive.
2. A goal represents multiple levels.  “I will finish” is singular; “I will finish feeling strong and accomplished” uses multiple layers of achievement.
3. A goal explains how you will know you’ve achieved it. “I will finish feeling strong and accomplished” does not explain how you will know it to be true.  “I will finish feeling strong and accomplished by appreciating the moment, celebrating at the finish line, and by demonstrating pride.”
