Ron wants to run in a local marathon next year even though he usually only jogs briefly around his neighborhood. his first attempt to run 10 miles yesterday turned into failure, as he was only able to complete 5 miles. ron is missing which key behavior in his goal setting?

starting small

Explanation:

One of the big mistakes we often make in setting goals is we believe in the false truth that any personal or professional project that we devise with the goal of becoming successful needs to start big. This is happening with Ron, who is setting his goal of running the city marathon, starting big. Ron is training with the goal of running 16 kilometers, this goal is too big for those who are starting to run now, Ron is starting big, is not reaching his goal and is getting frustrated. Ron should start small, set a smaller goal (such as running 5 km a day) and gradually increase.
