Episode notes
Analyze Last Season First
- Analyse your 2025 season to list clear strengths and weaknesses before planning 2026 training.
- Use that analysis to allocate training focus and discuss priorities with your coach early.
Use Camps And Mini-Races For Structure
- Book a training camp or smaller events (TT, XC) now to structure and break up winter blocks.
- Use those planned dates as motivation through dark, short-day months.
Exploit Treadmill And Heat For Gains
- Use indoor options (treadmill, sauna) to maintain run fitness and gain small physiological benefits.
- Pair treadmill sessions with consistent sauna/hot-bath use to boost VO2max over weeks.
