Season’s over. Now what?

Most athletes spend the off-season thinking about their legs. The mind needs a break too. Take a few weeks off structured training and move just for fun. If you start getting antsy to train again, that’s a good sign.

Then sit down with your training diary and be honest about what worked, what didn’t, and why. Once you know that, plan next season around the time you actually have, and write your goals down. If they’re not on paper, they’re not real.

Do the thinking now so you can just train and race when the season starts.

In the Hill Climb Abbey finished 1st in her age group and was in the top 10 overall in the women’s race. Congratulations! Pastaria/Big Shark Racing Team Mount Diablo Challenge

Your body takes a beating over a long season. 🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏊‍♂️ The off-season is your chance to rebuild.

Cycling, running, and swimming all limit your range of motion, which can leave weaknesses and imbalances that lead to injuries and cap how hard you can train. The fix? A progressive resistance training program, built on a solid baseline: a physical with blood panel, a functional assessment, and lactate threshold/VO2 max testing.

Phase one corrects weaknesses and rehabs lingering injuries. Phase two builds strength and durability. Commit to it like you do your in-season training, and you could start 2027 stronger than ever. 💪

Want the full breakdown of both phases and the testing I recommend? Read the full article- https://www.powerupcycling.com/the-off-season-time-to-rethink/ -385
