Congratulations to all of you finishing up fall seasons!   There were many great accomplishments this fall!   Please take some time for reflection and recovery.   Take some days off but don’t stop training all together!   It is important to lower your intensity during this time.   It is a great time to do longer easier workouts.   You can do this on the bike, rollerskiing, running or skiing if possible.   Yoga and rolling are great ways to ride your body of any nagging injuries.   In case you need a training schedule to follow here is a general lay out to follow.
