Post-Race Self Evaluation

August 23, 2017 Motiv8 Coaching Coaching

Congrats on your race performance! Whether or not you achieved your targets (whether in the form of time, or some other), what matters is gave your best in training and on race day.

If you are not satisfied with your performance (or even otherwise), you can use the form below for a honest self-evaluation and introspection of your preparation and training leading upto the race as well as on actual race day.

See if any of the following are applicable to you. In some cases, the solution will be pretty simple: if you missed workouts, the solution is to not miss workouts! For others, you can discuss with me if you wish.

The goal of this exercise is more introspection rather than any discussion or touching base with the coach, though you may do so if you want.

What’s important is that you take a honest, hard look at yourself, learn from your mistakes and try to eliminate them in the future.

Note: A copy of your answers will be mailed to you for your own records.

Training

The plan is not set in stone. If you are having some difficulty with any aspect of training, you must let me know so I can adjust accordingly.

Logs / Final Surge

Numbers don’t have meaning on their own. E.g. pace hit with Ease, difficulty, pains/niggles, breathing, something worth mentioning which will help Coach?

Rest & Recovery

Even a small improvement in sleep makes a big difference.
Work/family/finances, etc can add to your stress and affect your training. Think of what you can do to reduce it - even a small reduction makes a big difference.
Easy activity of 45-60 minutes like easy biking/swimming/yoga/gym/strength training on non-trraining days is OK. Further, at least 1 day of complete rest per week is necessary.

Physical Health

This applies for women only.
For example, antibiotics can affect your fitness.

Diet And Nutrition

What you eat is just as important as how much you eat.
You cannot suddenly use the strategy on race day!
Needless to say these have a very very and effect on your health in general and fitness. Reduce as much as you can or eliminate completely!
