One year on after asking this question I wanted to thank you all and give an update.
For many of us, 2020 wasn’t what we were expecting. I tried to make the best of it but I overdid it a bit. I ended up having to take a break from training in July but it wasn’t tragic due to the season being canceled. This bout of slight overtraining was a wake-up call. I decided to start working with a coach and I’m happy to say I have found someone who shares my training philosophy and is investing in my future.
Recently I did some baseline testing with my coach and I have set some lifetime PRs. Having not done true testing for years and zero high intensity for a handful of months I am super happy with the results. As well as happy to see that my bit of overtraining did not cripple me in the long term.
If racing returns in early 2021 I will be heading to Belgium for some racing and then back to the US for the summer. I am so epically pumped for the next season and I hope I can share more results with you in the future.
P.S. @brendanhousler I have been loving your blogs and videos. #nocoast, beta-alanine, and dialing my nutrition with SIS and TORQ have changed me.
