Building Endurance In the Off-Season

Long winters don’t stall endurance—they build it. In this 10‑minute quickcast, Chris lays out a simple offseason plan: stack Zone 2 anywhere (bike/row/SkiErg) to grow your aerobic base; use Zone 3 outdoors for steady pace even in layers; then raise the ceiling with Zone 4–5 intervals and CF‑style mixed sessions that keep you pushing without pounding one joint pattern. Add strength (squats, hinges, presses, pulls) to fix joint‑dominance and prevent overuse, and add power (jumps, throws, cleans) to make every stride or pedal stroke stronger. Cyclists: smart trainers are great for tempo/threshold, but the real offseason edge comes from the gym.CTA: Book a No‑Sweat Intro at Catalyst and get your winter plan dialed.
