Maximize Training Efficiency: Out-Season Success and Holiday Strategy with Coach Patrick

Endurance Nation Podcast

What if the key to crushing your fitness goals lies in the off-season? Join me, Coach Patrick at DressNation, as we navigate the pivotal weeks of out-season training. Our November athletes are nearing the end of their rigorous 14-week program, while January beginners are just warming up—and each group is learning that consistent effort is their best ally. We highlight the importance of building speed before endurance and why early adaptations in fitness can set you up for success. The holiday weekend might offer a chance to sneak in extra training, but remember, balance is essential to avoid burnout.

This week’s episode also brings exciting updates, including the buzz around our upcoming gear order and strategic advice for setting your race calendar. Whether you're planning to tackle a half marathon or just want to optimize your training schedule, we've got tips to keep you on track. Remember, winter is for building a solid foundation, so don’t overdo it. Instead, focus on consistent, quality work that will prepare you for the challenges of spring. Tune in to get motivated, stay informed, and keep moving forward with purpose!
