Nail Your Off SeasonĀ
Lay the foundations for your best season yet
Knowing how to train in the off season can be confusing. On the one hand, you don't want to lose any more fitness than you have to. But at the same time, you don't want to find yourself peaking in early spring, and burnt out by the time racing starts.
My off season plans help you get the balance right
More than six months until race day?
In most cases, I don't want athletes going hard in their training until six, maybe seven months out from race day.
The reason is that eight months is an awfully long time to be progressively overloading the body. The risk of injury and burnout increase exponentially.
But we don't want to sit on our hands
We want to keep moving. We've signed up for a race because we're motivated, and want to be the best version of ourselves. So what's the solution?
A plan which allows us to maintain our fitness, and helps us lay the foundations for a great season. We need a focused, if not stricĀ approach to the preparation phase.
A focused plan to guide you through off season
Having a break from structured training at the end of a hard season of racing is only natural. We need a physical and mental break from following a plan.
However, the mistake many athletes make is going rogue for too long. Without focus or a guiding hand their training is sporadic and inefficient. They try to focus on too much at once, and will under, or over cook their training
Laying the foundations for the base phaseĀ
A strong preparation phase sets us up for a great phase, which sets us up for a great build phase.
The goal of my plans is to allow you to head into the base phase able to better absorb your training, resulting in better adaptations and less fatigue.

What's Included?
The plans include one intensity session a week, two strength sessions and easy aerobic training to keep you ticking over.
Intimidated by strength work? Don't be! These sessions include videos and coaching points for each exercise.Ā This is the perfect time of year to unlock the benefits of strength training/
What Fitness Level is Required?
To get the most out of this plan, you will want to be able to swim for 2000M nonstop (with breaks), as well as be able to run and cycle for an hour without exhaustion.
If you're not quite at that level yet then you can shorten these workouts.
