Join me, Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation, as we embark on our first monthly check-in of 2025, marking the end of January and an astonishing 1/12th of the year already behind us. In this episode, we discuss the critical importance of beginning your training early, especially if you’re aiming for races in the upcoming months. We offer insights into how to jump-start your year if you're feeling behind and highlight the resilience of our community as they tackle the challenges of winter training. From the chilling conditions in Canada to the surprising snow in Florida, our athletes continue to impress with their dedication and tenacity.
As we look back at January, I reflect on what makes a strong start to the year and what every athlete should know about themselves as they progress. Discover the significance of understanding your body's rest and nutritional needs, and the importance of adapting to where you are right now rather than where you wish to be. We explore the mental challenges of winter training and emphasize the need to identify and address weaknesses to ensure a successful season. Tune in to learn how to optimize your current fitness level and prepare for the endurance challenges ahead.
