Your off-season isn’t downtime — it’s build time. In this video I walk you through my 8 must-do moves for the 2026 off-season so you show up to race season healthier, fitter, and more confident. I’m talking about the stuff that actually moves the needle: dialing in your nutrition and hydration, cleaning up mobility and flexibility, adding smart strength training, and using the off-season to fix the little leaks that cost you time and energy on race day. I also hit the practical side—gear and setup upgrades that make training easier and racing smoother, plus the swim technique work most triathletes avoid when the pressure is on. This is the window to slow things down, rebuild mechanics, and get consistent without the stress of peak workouts every week. Whether you’re a beginner doing your first sprint or you’re chasing a 70.3 PR, use this checklist to train smarter now so you can “crush it” later.
