This is the time, as you take a break or commence your winter training, when you should consider your goals for next year.

You should ask yourself questions:

Is my goal to go faster?

Want to go further?

Move up a category?

Qualify for the Worlds?

Choose a specific cycling challenge like the Marmot or Etape de Tour or even Land’s End to John O’Groats?

Try a new event like time trialling or road racing or Mountain Biking?

Next you should consider:

How are you going to train to achieve this, harder or longer?

Are you going use the same approach you always do?

Are you going make your training specific to the event profile?

What are strengths and weaknesses compared to the challenges in the event?

Are you using your training time effectively?

Are you using the resources you have available to their potential?

How do replace quantity with quality when the weather is bad?

Is your training progressive to get the maximum training effect?

Should I include off the bike work for strength and core?

What about flexibility?

So what?
