Mindset Practice for This Week: “The 1% Rule”
📌 Instructions:
- Before your next key session, set a single process goal for that workout.
- Keep it small—just 1% better than before.
- Afterward, write down your “1% win” in your training log.
💡 Examples of 1% process goals:
✅ Focus on smooth, relaxed breathing during a tempo run.
✅ Maintain strong posture and form in the last 10 minutes of a ride.
✅ Practice a race-day nutrition strategy in training.
🧘 Reflection Question:
- How did setting a process goal change how you felt about the session?
- Did it help you feel more present or less anxious about performance?
Final Thought: “The Finish Line is Now”
Your greatest strength is your ability to connect emotionally to your training. But you don’t need to wait until race day to feel successful. Success is happening right now, in every step, every swim stroke, and every ride.
The finish line isn’t just in the future—it’s in today’s small victories.
