Races are done ... now what do I eat?

You’re finished your goal races for the year, and are now ready to enjoy the off-season. However, after a few weeks of reduced mileage, you start to wonder:

  • Am I eating enough? Or not enough?

  • Do I still have to eat carbs even though I’m not training as much?

  • Should I still be having a pre and post workout snack? What about fueling during longer workouts?

  • Are there any nutrients I should make sure I’m getting enough of in the off-season?

  • Will I be slower if I gain weight now? Should I be making changes to my body composition?

Is it "all or nothing" during the off-season for you?

P.S. There is another way!

It can be easy to gravitate towards an “all or nothing” mentality during the off-season, where all your best laid plans and habits go out the window when you don’t have the motivation of a goal race looming in the near future. BUT, what you do in the off-season will help you build a solid foundation for your next season. With a few key strategies, you can go from feeling confused and frustrated in the off-season to feeling relaxed and confident, knowing that your body is getting everything it needs for rest and recovery to come back stronger and faster than ever!
