Week 1, Session 1:26.08.13
 To monitor my training programme for
performance development of the 800m, I used a
training diary. I did this because it would give
details on my progress and the effectiveness of
my training programme. My short term target for
this session was to take 2 seconds off my PB
(3:04 minutes). It is important to set short term
targets as it keeps me focused on my training.
Before the start of my training I felt confident I
could follow out the task and achieve my target
set for the end of the week. During the session I
felt the training was challenging but I managed
and done better than what I had anticipated.
Week 2, Session 1:02.09.13
 On this day for my training programme for
performance development of the 800m. My short
term target was to take 2 seconds off my PB
(3:02 minutes). I was a little nervous about
today’s training programme as I had thought that
it would be a hard challenge. By the end of the
session I was tired and exhausted but I managed
to complete it. At the end of the session I had a
sense of achievement as I managed to take 2
seconds off my PB (3:00 minutes).
Week 3, Session 1:03.09.13
 This was in my opinion my best day for my
performance development of the 800m. My short
term target was to take a final 2 seconds off my
PB (3:00 minutes). I felt motivated to take this
time off my target as I didn’t have long left of my
training programme. I was eager to get started as
I really wanted to reduce my time. By the end of
my session I retested my 800m time and had
successfully taken off 3 secs from my PB (2:57
minutes).
