I need to retract my comment below - partially at least! I've realised that one can of course relocate one's goals more prominently on the home page, which does probably tick the box of what I'm looking for. I still do feel that goals can be such an integral part of motivation, I'd love it if they were somehow more integrated with the log book - but for the time being I'm happy. :-)

So - it's new year, we're all setting goals, we enter them into the goal tracker on GRG, and then.... they kinda disappear. Is there a way to make our goals a bit more integrated with our running activity? A bit more visible??

For example, I just ran 900 miles this year (good for me), but it would've been great if I'd had some sort of really visible countdown, every time I logged a run - ticking things off. That would be super-motivating.

As runners we all know that goals are what keep people motivated but they're tucked away on the site a little bit - I need to go in and hunt for them, which makes them easy to forget. I can't speak for others, but I really want my goals shoved down my throat. :-)

It'd also be really awesome if - having set my goal - I not only got an update toward my total whenever I logged a run, but also some sort of commentary along the way: "Well done - you're 50% toward your mileage goal!" or "well done, you ran a 3.30 marathon!"

And you could even give reminders to set goals! "You haven't set a goal in 4 weeks. Come on, why not work toward something".

That type of thing.... I think it'd help make the site more "sticky".

THANKS GUYS!
