Performance and Goals
I would classify myself as a:
This is pretty open-ended so don't over think it. We just want to get an idea of where you perceive yourself to be.
What is your primary sport?
What are your secondary sports?
What is your motivation?
This is the overarching theme for your athletic participation. Typically relatively general. For some people it could be weight loss, for others, to race at a high level or anything in between. For example, my motivation is exploring new places and competing at an elite level in the mountains.
Recap your endurance races (all sports) over the last two years.
What are your primary goals for training?
These aren't performance based. This should be related to your motivation but more specific.
What are your secondary goals for training?
These may be related or unrelated to your primary goal (some goals can be a bit of a stretch!).
We also need to know your planned goal events for the year. These are usually races but could be other personal runs (R2R2R, etc...) or just a vacation where you will be focusing on running. We use an 'ABC' breakdown to rank importance.
'A' A’ races are top priority. There are 1 or 2 of these per season and you are mainly focusing on them. There will be a full taper planned for you to peak for ‘A’ races. For example: Squamish 50.
‘B’ races are medium priority. You may not be focusing all your efforts preparing for them but you still are excited and want to perform well. For example: Any Coast Mountain Trail Series races.

‘C’ races are low priority. You may or may not actually race them depending on how things are going close to the time of the race. ‘C’ races may just be used as training races. For example: running Comfortable Numb race but then retracing the course to the start to get in a 50k training run.
