And if you look at your watch and your run pace or your bike watch is significantly lower than they were two weeks ago, it could make you feel quite negative.

The Trafalum Show, 1971.

Hey, what's up everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon show, the podcast

presented by Scientific Traathlon.com. I'm your host Michael and on today's episode I interview

coach Fran Bungay. Fran Bungay. Fran is the head coach of Goals-Pacific and she's a coaching tutor at the British Triathlon Coach Development Program,

as well as being a top ranked age group athlete with the two European titles on her CV.

In this interview, we discuss using process goals in Traathlon and why you might want to

move towards a more process

driven approach rather than focusing hard on outcome goals. So we'll get into the advantages of

those process goals and the disadvantages and detriments of being too outcome focused

and get into the step-by-step goal setting process that you can use yourself,

as well as we'll discuss how you can build confidence and mental strength.

We did have a little bit of connection issues, some audio issues, but I hope that we managed

to sort it out in editing, but just as a heads-up, if something is is not quite right then that something was going on

there when we did into but i hope it will be all right big thanks before the interview to

And those sorts of very qualitative questions that you don't need to do any sort of measurements.
