Kona has wrapped, Ironman California is behind us, and a lot of athletes are staring at a calendar with one more race on it. In this solo episode, Chris explains how to end your season so you start the next one both fitter and fresher than you started this one.
You will learn a three-part review that turns your favorite moment, your repeated mistakes, and your keep-and-cut lists into rules for next year. You will get clear guidelines for how many days of zero training you need after sprint, Olympic, 70.3, and Ironman seasons, and how to structure the easy, skill-focused weeks that follow. Chris closes with coaching on why rest feels so uncomfortable, a mantra for the weird weeks, and a simple weekly aerobic benchmark that shows whether your offseason is working.
