Bevan and Tim discuss the challenges of managing fatigue and the importance of optimizing training and recovery going into 2025. We highlight the significance of taking a meaningful off-season and explore the need for effective monitoring of training stress and recovery.

We look at the role of strength training in triathlon preparation, and the benefits of sports-specific strength training techniques. The discussion emphasizes the balance between training and recovery, the impact of mood on performance, and the necessity of incorporating structured recovery into training plans.
