Now it’s the same every week all year:
- Some running always on the calendar, even with nothing to train for. The aerobic base never gets rebuilt from zero because it never drops to zero.

- Strength year-round, not just in an off season. It’s the half nobody keeps and the half that keeps you healthy.

- When a race does show up, it doesn’t start anything. It just tells me what to sharpen for the next training block.

That’s the whole thing. It means I’m never more than a month or two out from being ready for almost anything. It means I’m not starting over every new year.

If you’ve quit and restarted more times than you can count, just like me, put a race on the calendar, train for the race and then never stop moving forward from there. The first race is the motivation, the training after that is for life.
