Season Planning and Off-Season Preparation
The process of planning a competitive cycling season begins immediately after the previous season ends, with thoughtful evaluation of strengths and weaknesses. Riders do not rush back into training; they allow time for an off-season, often focusing on strength training before gradually transitioning back to cycling. This off-season period is crucial for addressing specific weaknesses, such as sprinting skills, which are targeted through consistent training aimed at improving performance in future races. A systematic approach, similar to a SWOT analysis, helps cyclists to identify areas of improvement based on past experiences.
