If you’re an endurance athlete, weekend warrior, or someone who lives for their next big event, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we dive into why skipping an off-season could be the very thing holding back your long-term progress. Because here’s the truth: staying in constant race-prep mode doesn’t make you tougher. It just keeps you tired.

You’ll learn:

• What actually happens to your body when you never take a break
• Why always training hard = stalled performance and mounting injuries
• The mental trap of “staying fit” and how it backfires
• What a smart, productive off-season actually looks like (hint: it’s not just Netflix and naps)
• How a pause now sets you up for better, stronger training later

🚨 Still grinding with nagging pains or feeling stuck in a cycle of race > taper > repeat? It’s time to break that loop. I've got only a few 1:1 and group coaching spaces available for this month. Book a free assessment call to get started. Link’s in the episode description or at www.themegmethod.com or book here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and let’s have a chat.

Your next season doesn’t start with another race. It starts with recovery.
