Thank you for another great interview! Sarah has great advice into dealing with no races. I hadn’t thought of this downtime between racing events as an opportunity to build fitness & become better. (I seem to learn something with each race, not necessarily the day to day training.) This gave me a new perspective!

Thanks, Corrina! One of things I'm learning from talking to coaches like Sarah is how important it is to focus on the longer term than a single race. Like she said, so many people focus on training for a single race and then abandon a lot of what they've done after the race is over. But staying consistent (as much as is realistically possible for those of us with full-time jobs!) is a better goal, it seems like.

You are right! This changes my perspective. I don’t want to abandon what I’ve learned after each race and I want to stay consistent, but without burning out. It will be a fine line, I think, but worth trying!
