Nailing this phase of training changes everything

When the race is over, motivation often fades-and that’s where many runners lose momentum and find themselves on a negative trajectory. How can we change that?This episode reframes the off-season as a critical training phase, not complete downtime. You’ll learn how to replace race-driven motivation with purpose, build structure without burnout, and set practical goals that keep progress moving when there’s no start line in sight. I'll break down how to train with intent during lighter periods of the year, and how to use the off-season to create lasting gains for your next training cycle.
