285. Are you taking too much time off during the year?

It is the spring and a lot of people either recently ran a goal spring race or are planning to soon. After a season of build, it is important to take time off from training, but we don’t want to take so much time off that it becomes challenging to get back into things later. We want to spend the offseason more in the gray area and less of the ‘black or white’ ‘all or nothing’ mindset. Getting used to being okay with not being ‘all in’ on training and still allowing yourself to be semi-consistent is key for longevity in the sport and reaching your goals

How long was your season?

Did you have a big build up

When was your last offseason?

Ask yourself why you have that goal

What is next for you in the next 6-12 months?

If you have another big build coming up, take time off

If you have to dive right back in, less of an offseason considered

Black and White/All or nothing traps
