This week, Lana Burl runs down some of the most common questions triathletes have about the "off" season. When you're training toward a goal race, your focus and the steps you need to take are usually well-defined, but after the last race of the year its easy to do too little, too much, or have no plan. 

Some topics we talked about include: 

What does a "structured" off season look like? 

Should you try Crossfit?

Does the easy/intensity split of 80/20 change over the winter? 

How do you maintain a base-level fitness?

What are some good ways to track that base-level fitness?

How do your nutrition requirements change in the off season?

How do you give yourself a good mental break?
