Understanding Off-Season Training
Off-season training refers to the period after the last race of a season until the start of specific race preparation, usually lasting six to eight weeks. This phase, also known as general preparation, focuses on building a chronic workload over time rather than merely engaging in low-intensity 'base training.' It's emphasized that training should be a continuous process, where athletes build their fitness year-round, rather than concentrating solely on specific workouts during winter. The distinction between off-season and specific preparation training is crucial, as consistent good training throughout the year leads to overall improvement.
