Welcome to a special episode of the Ask a Cycling Coach podcast presented by trainer road.

It's the new year. We're going to talk about goals. That's the focus of today.

It's going to be a shorter episode than normal. We have Ventum Bikes and

Trainer Roads Ivy Audrain and our CEO Nate Pearson. Nate, do you remember when we used to do these

episodes when we put out these goals and sometimes there were these very audacious

goals that were set that weren't really realistic? And then we'd hold ourselves accountable to them at the end of the year.

We're going to do that again.

We'll see if they're audacious and unrealistic, I don't know, but we're going to do that again.

But before we do that, if you have not listened to the episode that I did last year I'm

gonna link below in the description for this it's six minutes long super short I talk about

goal setting some key things in terms of training from that perspective of what you

want to do to set goals and I also give you some really good ideas for key areas that I

think that if you set goals in these areas it's going to help you improve and

become a faster cyclist.

Specifically, because you can set goals in a lot of different ways,

and we should be, but the ones that we care about most recycling, right?

Those are the ones that matter.

So in that one, we cover the fact of, well of well actually you're going to leave it as a spoiler. It's six minutes. You can go listen to it.

It's down in the description. Nate what do you think of that's important when you set your goals just really basic stuff like

what don't you want to do or what do you want to do?

Yeah, you can't control the outcome.

You can have a goal.
