Elite runner Allison Goldstein \u201908 tells how she set and met a major personal goal\u2014and answered the question, what next?<\/h3>\n

I had a pretty short turnaround before the actual trials, which were the following February.<\/strong> But the goal had really been qualifying for the trials. Making the Olympic team is a whole other level. The trials course was definitely harder. I went in knowing that my time wasn\u2019t going to be outstanding. My qualifying time, at the Philadelphia Marathon, was 2:44:14. I finished the trials in Atlanta in 2:55:09.<\/p>\n

I certainly didn\u2019t set out with the goal of anything like the Olympic trials. I don\u2019t think I even knew what that was. My goals started small and got more ambitious as I progressed.<\/strong> I ran my first half-marathon in 2008. Then I set the goal of finishing a marathon, and I thought that was going to be it. But then it went well, and I thought, \u201cmaybe I can improve my time.\u201d In the marathon, breaking the three-hour barrier is a major milestone, but I actually did not set that as a goal. It just sort of happened after I ran several marathons. I ran a 2:53 in Berlin, when I actually had a pretty bad race, and I thought I could have done better. If I was so sure about that, I thought, \u201cwhy not target the Olympic trials? Because if I make it, it will be the accomplishment of a lifetime. And if I don\u2019t, I will still have gotten faster. I still will have set PRs [personal records] along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

To help me stay motivated, I\u2019ve always found people to train with, rather than going it alone.<\/strong> Having people around is motivating because you\u2019re seeing them put in the work, so it makes you want to put in the work. It\u2019s also grounding. You suddenly realize that other people also have bad days, whereas if you\u2019re by yourself, it\u2019s easier to think, \u201cOh my gosh, I\u2019m never going to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n

I also think having a coach, no matter what your goal, can be really helpful. A coach can take a lot of the guesswork out.<\/strong> When I\u2019m feeling really tired and a little sore, I can\u2019t really step outside myself and decide: Should I just suck it up and do the workout, or am I risking injury? It\u2019s good to have a guiding force to help you think through things in a less emotional way.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter every marathon I\u2019ve run, I\u2019ve felt a little bit of a void. This is a common experience after meeting a big goal.\u201d<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]You feel a void, because you spent all this time and energy and attention on that one thing, and suddenly it\u2019s gone. I\u2019ve had this happen enough times now to know that it\u2019s going to come, but that doesn\u2019t make it easier to get through. And I don\u2019t like to decide too hastily what to do next. For me, that always backfires. I\u2019ve needed to take time to decide what\u2019s going to be meaningful.<\/p>\n

Last year, I dealt with that void by thinking about my next goal before the Olympic trials.<\/strong> I knew it couldn\u2019t be another marathon. I needed something completely different. I decided to try a triathlon and signed up for the SOS (Survival of the Shawangunks) Triathlon in New Paltz, New York.<\/p>\n

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored how important it is to be flexible. The triathlon was supposed to take place last September. It\u2019s now supposed to take place this year, but we\u2019ll see.<\/strong> When I started training, as always, I relied on a group to keep me going. I have some friends who are into cycling, and one of them is in Paris, and one is in Copenhagen. So we all got on our bike trainers and set up a Zoom so that we could ride together virtually. It\u2019s very unlikely we would have done that in normal times.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1620839824255{padding-top: 5px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #e9e5d7 !important;}”]Allison Goldstein \u201908<\/strong><\/p>\n
