  "account": "There are 448 days until Christmas, which falls in 2027. The author notes that competitions and sporting goals can sneak up quickly, and the time available to prepare often feels too short. No amateur athlete has said they have trained too much or are too fit, according to the author. The author advises that now is the best time to lay the mental, physical, and organizational groundwork for goals such as running 10 kilometers under an hour, improving a marathon time, or completing a triathlon in 2027. Even if a competition is still to be held this year, training for 2027 should start now.",
  "summary": "The next sports year is closer than it seems. How do hobby athletes set the right priorities, define goals and actually achieve them? Our columnist knows: Training starts today.",
