Off Season
If you’ve had a longer season than normal, or have felt particularly drained by your final race or felt that you “under-performed” at your final race, you may need a slightly longer off season. It’s also important during your goal setting for the following season to consider how long your season will be next year. If you’re planning an ‘A’ race in the middle of the Summer, it may make sense to take a shorter off-season. If you’re planning on racing into this time next year, make sure to take plenty of time in your return to substantial training.
