The fall is the time of year many athletes wrap up their season. At the end of each season it is important to schedule a transition period or phase. This is a time to let your body recover fully, both mentally and physically, before resuming a more formal training schedule. It is also a great time to take a look at what you need to change for the coming season.
After the transition phase base training begins. Seasons are often won or lost in base in which almost all activity is performed at an aerobic level. Aerobic power and efficiency are the "base" that higher race intensities are performed upon. A coach can build a custom annual training plan for you, and schedule each phase of training appropriately. Often a phone consultation can help you make the more efficient and productive use of your training time.

| Why Schedule a Transition Phase? |
|
| By Matt Russ
The transition phase may be referred to as "off season" training but is not a time to take "off." Actually, there is no "off" season. The transition phase is the time of year to let your body fully recover, both mentally and physically, while maintaining a level of fitness. It is the time to let those nagging little injuries heal up. The transition phase can last 4-6 weeks and occurs directly after the final peak of the season.
