Off-season doesn’t mean stopping - it’s about keeping your fitness ticking over while giving your body time to recharge. By lowering intensity but staying consistent, you’ll hold onto your progress and come back stronger when race prep begins again.

A maintenance plan keeps you running regularly but with less pressure. Think of it as a chance to reset: you stay active, avoid injury, and rebuild motivation without burning out. It’s also the perfect time to focus on recovery, strength, and the simple enjoyment of running.

To make the most of your off-season, try:
• Staying consistent: Run a few times each week, but at easier paces and with lower mileage than peak training.
• Adding variety: Explore trails, mix in cross-training, or run socially with friends to keep things fun.
• Building strength: Use this period to improve core, mobility, and overall conditioning.
• Planning ahead: Having your next race in the calendar, even months away, keeps you motivated and accountable.
