Avoid These 5 Holiday Training Traps

Holiday training sets up the whole season. Get it right and you start ahead. Get it wrong and you spend months fixing it.

This episode breaks down how to train through the holidays without losing fitness or burning out. How to add volume without piling on intensity. How to protect consistency, recovery, and family time. And how to avoid the classic mistakes that leave athletes cooked by January.

We cover clear strategies for both hemispheres, including winter training indoors, mid-season summer racing, and how to exit the break fitter, fresher, and motivated for what’s next.
