Off-Season/Maintenance
Stay sharp without staying switched on.
The off-season isn't dead time, and it isn't more racing intensity either. This plan holds your fitness where it needs to be, keeps you moving and structured, and gets you into the next block without the fitness losses or injury risk that come from either doing nothing or quietly training like it's still race season.
Who this is for
Athletes between race blocks who want structure without the demands of a build phase. Suited to anyone coming off a hard season who needs recovery built in rather than assumed, and to athletes maintaining fitness through a period without a target race on the calendar.
Structured for how you train
Each distance is available in four combinations, so you can train exactly how your equipment and usual approach support, swim is guided by RPE and pace throughout, with bike and run structured to match your setup:
Bike Heart Rate, Run Heart Rate
Bike Power, Run Heart Rate
Bike Power, Run Pace
Bike Power, Run Power
What's included
Structured swim, bike, and run sessions built for maintenance, not for racing
Strength work included, since off-season is when it's easiest to keep consistent
Unlimited email support, direct to the coach who built the plan
Delivered through TrainingPeaks, structured from day one
