Join Peter and Molly as they dive into the appeal of taking on last-minute, end-of-season endurance adventures—whether it's a big race, a challenging ride, or an epic endurance event. They share real-life examples from clients and explore how factors like sport, distance, and terrain, along with your current training, influence the risk of these spontaneous challenges. They also discuss the importance of understanding why you're drawn to the challenge and offer strategies for tackling similar goals with less risk by planning for something 4-8 weeks down the road that still satisfies your craving for adventure.
