Week 3 setting goals

As I was thinking about running and preparing for races, I thought about how important it is to have a long term goal. It is this goal that motivates us to go running every day and to push ourselves to progress. If you are a new runner it is important not to over push yourself. Without a long term goal people often go too hard too fast. However this is not the way running works. If you start out fast and hard you could get injured or give up after just a couple of days. This running program is intended to prevent injury and to keep you motivated. This is reaching for a long term goal and achieving it. If you follow this program you will get those results.
