Well the best made plans can go wrong: as unfortunately the astonishingly talented Jack Carroll found out on the weekend when he was robbed of his BGT victory. Jack instead romped home as the best act from Britain in the 2013 Britain's Got Talent competition, but alas the accolade of being voted the best act from Britain didn't bring with it the glorious sum of £250,000 or the knowledge that you are considered the best in the competition. When Jack embarked on his journey, he would not have planned on being beaten by a group of shadows from someplace other than Britain.
Sometimes what we plan for, or what others plan for us, don't always work out. Planning is in many ways about proposing an 'ideal', the thing that we want to happen, or that which should happen, if everything proceeds as expected. This expectation applies equally to business planning, military planning or physical exercise planning in its various forms.
"A training plan is just that: a plan. It is not a set of laws, commandments or marching orders that you must live and die by, and never deviate from. Your training plan represents an ideal scenario: (how) you hope to be able to perform if everything goes as expected." Brad Hudson, author of Run Faster (£10, Broadway)
