Summary

As you trudge through the winter months, you may be navigating short days, dark mornings, and extreme cold weather as you build your 2022 Season of Performance. Don't let the winter doldrums kill your training mojo.

Matt creates a blueprint to optimize any cold-weather training you may do outdoors, as well as tips to maximize the equipment you have inside that can assist you and become valuable training tools.

You'll learn:

How to dress appropriately for outdoor training
Which winter sports allow for adequate cross-training and adaptation to your favorite warm-weather activities
The importance of continued fueling and hydration even in the cold weather
The best types of nutrition to use when training outside
The purpose of training outdoors - What should you seek in your outdoor training and what workouts are best during this time of year?

If you're taking most of your training indoors during the winter months, you'll learn:

The value of making strength training a top priority
Benefits of cycling and running indoors
Sample workouts and training sessions that are best utilized on an indoor trainer or treadmill
How to avoid monotony and form fatigue
The benefit of leaning into video-based coaching and community

If you head outside, dress for it, have fun, stay fueled, and embrace the varied training opportunity. Then, gain highly specific intervals and strength work with the shorter sessions you execute indoors.

Both make up a balanced performance recipe that will lead you to your best performance in sport or life.
