What goals or intentions has the team been working on this year?
Coach Kim
Coach Kim has set a few health-related goals this year and they are the following:
Complete a 6-day cycling tour in Germany and Czechoslovakia, cycling an average of 70-75 km per day.
Be able to perform a Back Squat of 100 lbs by the end of 2024.
Explore and implement new healthy recipes into her week.
How is Kim doing with these goals so far? Well, she has been doing longer endurance runs and has been strength training on a regular basis. She will also start implementing a long bike ride at home to build an endurance base for her cycling tour. Kim has also communicated her strength goals to her personal trainer and she has been performing the Back Squat (and other related exercises) on a weekly basis. She will be increasing her Back Squat to twice per week in February. Kim has also been researching healthy recipes and doing more meal planning in January. So far, Kim is well on her way to achieving her goals!
Coach Matt
Coach Matt also has a few goals this year that are related to his fitness and also his job. Here they are below:
Complete at least one course this year that leads to a certification.
Run 50 km at the Sulphur Springs race at the end of May.
Post on the Plachecki Coaching instagram account more often.
So far, Coach Matt has already completed his level 1 certification in Kettlebell Instructor Training through Agatsu. He has also been successfully rehabilitating his shin splints and hip/back pain and now can fully commit to training for his 50 km race. During the rehabilitation process, Coach Matt was still running and strength training but he could not complete a lot of long runs. Finally, throughout the month of January, Coach Matt has recorded and been in many reels for the Plachecki Coaching instagram account during RED January. He is doing a great job working towards his goals!
Coach K
Coach K has also set a few goals in January as well. Here they are below:
Read one book per month.
Do intentional movement everyday in January as an example for people doing RED January.
Eat more vegetables.
Coach K has read 1.5 books in January and has actively set aside time to read on most days. For her movement goal, she has been active everyday in January. She added intentional movement to her regular fitness routine on days that would normally have light activity or no activity at all. She has also eaten more vegetables overall but has not been intentional with this goal. She will be working on adding in vegetables to 2 meals per day in February.
