Triathlon Goal Setting Worksheet

Use the Three Horizon framework to get your goals out of your head and onto paper — clear, specific, and written down. A reality check at the end shows you honestly where you currently stand.

Horizon 1 — Your Immediate Goal

Next 3–6 months: the race or milestone you are training for right now.

What event are you targeting?

Event name (optional)

Race date

What is your goal outcome?

Why is this goal important to you?

Be specific — this becomes your written goal statement. What will achieving this mean for you?

Horizon 2 — Your Season Vision

6–18 months: where does your H1 goal lead? Optional but encouraged.

What does completing your H1 goal lead toward?

Specific event or milestone in the next 12–18 months? (optional)

Horizon 3 — Your Long-Term Vision

18+ months: the athlete you are becoming. Optional.

What's your big, aspirational triathlon goal?

Don't hold back — what would you love to achieve if everything came together?

What kind of athlete or person do you want to become through triathlon? (optional)

? Current Reality

These details power your goal reality check. Fill them in for honest, personalised feedback.

How would you describe your current triathlon fitness?

How many hours per week can you realistically train?

Are you currently coached?

Have you completed this race distance before?

Know your CSS, FTP, or threshold run pace? Enter them for a more specific reality check.

Complete your Horizon 1 goal (event, date, outcome and reason) plus your current fitness level to continue.

This worksheet provides general guidance based on your inputs. Every athlete is different — individual coaching factors in training history, injury status, and lifestyle constraints that no worksheet can capture. Results are indicative, not prescriptive.
