Train Limiters BEFORE Base Season!?
Just finished your race season? Don't jump straight into base training! September-October is actually PRIME TIME for targeting your biggest limiters and making breakthrough improvements. With your peak fitness still in the bank from racing, this crucial 8-week window lets you focus on quality sessions without race stress - whether that's getting explosive with anaerobic power, experimenting with new threshold intervals like over-unders, or trying constant power VO2 max work instead of your usual 30/30s. It's the perfect time to experiment with volume, cadence, equipment changes, and push your limits when you have the mental bandwidth to truly focus. Remember: base training needs 3-4 focused months, not endless zone 2, so use this time to squeeze that extra 1% out of your season! Check out our coaching services and training plans if you need help structuring this focused approach.
