Deep dives
The Origin of ABC Goals
The podcast episode introduces the ABC Goal System, which was developed during a conversation with a marathoner. The system involves setting three goals: an A-GLE (aggressive, optimal time goal), a B-GLE (realistic base case time goal), and a C-GLE (finishing the race). The importance of having multiple goals becomes evident during the marathon race, where the speaker had to shift from the A-GLE to the B-GLE due to leg cramps. The ABC Goal System proved effective in achieving progress and staying motivated beyond running, leading to the generalized application of the system in various areas of life.
