FB # 84 - Training For the Off-Season

Whilst we don't get much of an off-season here in Australia - mainly because of the continually awesome weather -  it is important to take a bit of downtime at certain points throughout the year to allow the body  to reset and work on key aspects if your endurance development whilst having a bit of fun. Like most things, there is an art to getting the off-season right. It doesn't need to be all serious and Long course racing driven, and it must be enjoyable, but the off-season can provide some fantastic athletic development.

• Planning for the off-season.


• Repeating the recovery process.


• Using your time to understand EASY.


• Seeking a "mental refresh".


• Using non IM specific training to develop your IM racing ability.


• Having a plan to come back to racing after downtime.


• Pushing your body without proper rest is a killer.


• Finding the passion in what you do as an endurance athlete.
