Off-Season Plans

Stay engaged and consistent

Off-Season Plans are for runners who are not currently training for a race but still want to maintain their consistency and stay engaged. Whether you’re between races or simply need a break from performance-focused training, these plans offer a balanced approach to keep you active, motivated, and consistent. Our Off-Season Plans focus on keeping your training fresh, with a mix of running, cross-training, and strength work, along with reflective prompts to keep you mentally connected to your fitness goals.

Why These Plans Work

When you’re not training for a race, it can be easy to lose motivation or feel disconnected from your routine. This plan keeps your training varied and purposeful, giving you the structure to stay fit while leaving room for flexibility. Whether you’re preparing for future races or just focusing on enjoying the process, these plan will help you maintain your fitness and keep things interesting.

Choosing the Right Plan for Your Off-Season Goals

Alternative Base Plan: A balanced plan designed to maintain aerobic fitness with three days of running, one day of cross-training, and dedicated strength work each week. Perfect for athletes who want to keep their fitness base intact without the pressure of race-specific goals.

Off-Season Strength Plan: Prioritizes strength training with time-based cross-training (with or without running) to maintain aerobic fitness. This plan is ideal for athletes focusing on building strength and endurance during their off-season.

Plans Include:

Run Plan: Easy-effort runs to maintain your base fitness.
Cross-Training Plan: To switch up your routine and give your body a break from running.
Strength Training Plan: To build and maintain strength, preventing injury and keeping you strong.
Weekly Prompts: Reflective prompts to help you stay connected to the season you’re in and maintain a healthy mindset.
Weekly Team Coaching Call: Join me and the team for a live Zoom call to discuss your training, answer questions, and stay connected.
