 Thoughts from The Man
How do you survive the post-season blues?
How can you add some spice to your routine during the winter?
I know many athletes that wrestle with these questions, sometimes year after year. However, those of you that embrace the winter and develop a flexible training plan during these colder months can overcome the winter blues. Read on:
DAVE'S SUGGESTIONS FOR TRAINING THROUGH THE WINTER
Set specific times to train each day. This allows a little flexibility in your routine and provides a second chance to squeeze in your workout.
Be flexible with your daily schedule. If you have been looking forward to your long run on Saturday and a winter storm arrives suddenly on Friday night, consider a few alternatives: split the workout with a short run outside and finish up with a treadmill session either immediately following or later in the day or simply reschedule for another day.
Get outside even if you only have 20 minutes: take a brisk walk, a light job, or an adventurous ski, ride or hike.
Mix-up your workout: Try something new and shake up that routine! Try the rowing machine, the Stairmaster or Vasa Trainer. Or that thing in the corner of your gym that you have no idea what it does.
Include at least one session per week of swim, bike and run- with a minimum established time per discipline.
Take off your headphones and enjoy the stillness of winter.
Run or ride a different route.
Every 3 weeks, test your aerobic fitness level:
- Swim 20-40 minutes with steady effort
- Bike 30-75 minutes (this can be done indoors at a specific power output, heart rate and gear load)
- Run 5-8 miles
Increase your strength and stretching routine! Select three new exercises or slightly different muscle groups or movements every 3 weeks.
Don't freak out if you miss a session. Chill out with the chilly weather: enjoy a glass of wine, call a friend you haven't chatted with in a long time, go into the kitchen and make a hearty soup for lunch! Enjoy some down-time.
