After a long season of training, most athletes are ready for a well-deserved break, yet they also recognize that training during the off-season is imperative for success in the coming season.
So how do you strike the right balance so you get the rest and recovery you need without losing progress and risk stalling your performance next season?
As part of our three-part series on everything off-season, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon answers all your questions on how to approach the off-season to set yourself up for success.
In part one of our in-depth series, Matt frames the importance of the off-season in developing consistency to achieve predictable and long-lasting results. He also illustrates the mindset and practices needed to help you recharge, train effectively, and upgrade your skills and techniques.
"Offseason is a part of the year to focus on things that you simply cannot practically focus on during peak phases of training. And of course, peak phases of racing, if you do that. If I had to sum up the offseason, I would label it as fun, flexible, and absolutely critical for anyone on any sort of performance journey in any arena." - Matt Dixon
Over the coming shows, we will dig into the key ingredients and framework we apply when building off-season training for Purple Patch Athletes. We are also dedicating an entire show to answering your questions about the off-season.
