How to Set up Your Offseason to Maximize your Racing! | #18 ft. Aaron Geiser
In this episode, Aaron and I discuss recent Ironman races and the importance of the off-season. We highlight Chelsea Sodaro's performance in the Ironman World Championship and Dan Plews victory in the California Ironman. We also discuss the impact of separate Ironman World Champ races on participation and vendor presence. The conversation then shifts to the off-season, with a focus on taking time off, incorporating strength training, and building a solid foundation for the upcoming season. We emphasize the importance of maintaining the fun factor in training and the benefits of strength training for bone health and injury prevention. We also discuss the value of engaging in winter sports for variety.
In this episode, we discuss winter training, cross country skiing, and the challenges of cold weather. We also talk about off-season training, injury management, and the base building phase. The importance of training intensity and variety is emphasized, as well as finding entertainment in aerobic workouts. Aaron hosts a long Zwift ride every Saturday at 8am EST!
