3. In this After Action Review period, what went right and why? Identify strengths and strategies to build on them?
This has been a great week, I have completed all the activities and have exceeded the requirements on most. What is more gratifying is the pace results that I have achieved this week, culminating in the 07:47/mile pace on the Sunday run.
4. In this After Action Review period, what went wrong and why? Identify weaknesses and strategies to address them?
No misses this week, however, one note of caution I will have to guard against going off too quickly next Sunday.
5. What corrective actions will I implement now to remain on target?
Use and act in accordance with my new mantra “I can & I am”. Continue to apply the lessons learnt to this point
6. What are my commitments / goals for the upcoming week so that I can consider my efforts a success?
This week – Complete week 9 of the training programme.
