LO 3: Planning and initiating activities
At the beginning of the year, I formulated my own training program for track and field. The training program was not necessarily just for track but also for cross country. This was the plan I put into place to ensure my success at this sport and most importantly, I decided to join the Singapore Shufflers Running Club. In this club, we get to run with different people on certain days of the week including even those athletes that compete at an international level so having become a member of this club gave me the platform to learn valuable skills from other people as well as to improve myself in athletics. This kind of plan really worked in that every time that I trained in school I could feel a whole lot of difference in the way that I was running. Fo r instance, my stamina, my personal bests as well as my engagement overall. I faced difficulties here and there with this planning in that the club was really far from the campus and the training sessions were held in the evenings. This meant that I had to be strategic in the way that I trained and that I came back on campus on time to ensure I did not breach the curfew rules. Sometimes there were also a lot of assignments I had so this made my schedule even tighter. I overcame these challenges by simply adjusting my schedules realistically and most importantly developed better time management.
