Goal velocity is the rate at which your training is moving toward a specific outcome, not just whether you completed another workout. For a marathon build, it asks whether mileage, long runs, recovery, and key sessions are lining up with the race goal over time.
Goal velocity helps you notice drift before the plan breaks. If the build is adding fatigue faster than it is building specific fitness, the smarter move may be to adjust volume, intensity, lifting, or recovery before the next key workout.
Hybrid athletes can stay busy while moving away from the main goal because running, lifting, and recovery compete for the same capacity. Goal velocity keeps the race outcome visible so strength work and endurance work support the same direction.
