Training for 2030

I’ve noticed that for the past few weeks, a lot of people have been reflecting on the fact that we just closed out a decade and are starting a new one. It’s been a good exercise, thinking back to what you’ve done over the past 10 years, mistakes you made, big ah-ha moments and life-changing decisions. 

A nice exercise to figure out if your training regimen is appropriate is to think about how it will impact you in 10 years. A while back, I wrote a blog about how it’s too bad we couldn’t all just train for 10 years from now and throw away these expectations of fast results. In this first week of 2020, I challenge you to think about how you’re going to train, how you’re going to feel and what you’re going to be doing the first week of 2030. What habits will get you there? What habits will sabotage you? 

Check you goals. Saying you’ll do something doesn’t mean you’ll succeed. What are you going to do to get there? What does the day to day look like for the first 5 years? The last 5 years? It’s a difficult exercise, and if you’re able to actually sit down and examine yourself, I bet you’ll come up with a couple of really good process goals.

From James Clear’s Instagram:

Aim to be great in 10 years.

Build health habits today that lead you to a great body in 10 years.

Build social habits today that lead to great relationships in 10 years.

Build learning habits that lead to great knowledge in 10 years. 

Long-term thinking is a secret weapon.
