If the answer is yes, don't worry you're certainly not alone...!

If you feel like your training is lacking focus then here's what to do in one simple step.

Set yourself a performance goal

This will help provide some more purpose to your training (and that extra little push in the brighter mornings)

It's absolutely fine if your goals are aesthetic, but setting a goal based on something physical you'd like to be able to do might actually help you achieve these aesthetic goals quicker.

So, Where to start?

The challenge can be as big or small as you like.

Fear not, this isn't a post about getting everyone to run a marathon (although if that's your thing, go for it!).

They can be gym based goals or a challenge event outside.

It might be that you want to get stronger in the gym, and so setting some weight targets could be a place to start.

It could be learning a new skill, or getting better at something, e.g Nailing your first chin up, being able to run 5km, doing an unassisted handstand even.

There's always something new to master...that's the fun in training!

(And that’s why you’ll see us celebrating so many goals and achievements with our members on their journey.)

Going further than this, signing up for a challenge or race could provide even more focus. Again, these can be big or small. There are plenty of running races across Donegal (keep your eyes peeled for a race that we are also going to enter into as a team soon ...more on this to come).

The list of options are endless: from triathlons, to entering amateur competitions, to walking challenges, to bike rides, to mud runs.

Our training will help members get in the best physical shape to ensure they're completely prepared.

We know from first hand experience what it feels like to complete a challenge you've set out to achieve....

You'll be more consistent with your training as you'll have something to be accountable to.

When you reach your gym goal or complete the challenge you'll gain more confidence in your own abilities.

You'll almost certainly get in better shape as a result, without that being the sole focus.

So, what's the rest of 2018 looking like?
