I have been thinking a lot about my strategy for the rest of 2026. I have a big goal of running a marathon in October, but that feels so far away that I am struggling to stay focused right now. I have realized that I need to break this down into much smaller short term milestones.

My plan is to set monthly targets for mileage and weekly targets for my long runs. I think this will help me feel a sense of achievement every weekend rather than just waiting for the big race day. It is easy to lose sight of the finish line when it is six months away.

How do you all balance your big yearly goals with your daily habits? I find that if I only look at the end result I get overwhelmed. I am trying to focus on the process instead. If you have a system for tracking these mini-wins, please share it. I am looking for all the help I can get to stay on track.
