2016 How to Prepare for your Best Outseason
It’s almost time to fire up another OutSeason of training! As always it will be chock full o’ hard work and goodness. 
Consider this post to be your official intro to this edition of the OutSeason, but don’t hesitate to be a good do-bee and go read the full OutSeason Information page, courtesy of the EN Wiki
Date:
The January OutSeason begins on Monday, January 4th, 2016
- I'm not sure which OutSeason start I should do?
- Your Season RoadMap: if Coach Rich has recently created a Season RoadMap for you, he indicated on that when you should start the OS
- Want more? Please read "When to Start the OutSeason" in the wiki.
- Need more help? Please take the Season Planning Survey and Coach Rich will create your Season Roadmap for you, or you can have a conversation with him in the Macro Forum.
Will my OutSeason training plan automagically show up in my Training Plan Page on January 4th? Sorry, no. You need to insert your own copy of the 2015/16 OS plan into your account via the Training Plan page, by clicking the Move/Change plan button.
What Do You Need to Know?
- Setting Up Your First OutSeason Webinar:
- Get the testing right! You should do your bike and run tests where you will do them all winter. So if you will be inside come January, you test inside now.
Please make sure that your bike, if you don’t use a powermeter, please put the magnet & receiver on your rear wheel so we can track your progress! - Resting is important! The OS isn’t hard in Week 1 or 3, but by Week 6 you will love some time off...please plan ahead!
Where is the Online Mojo for the OutSeason?
In the January OutSeason Forum...you're in it!
Data: We encourage you to track your test progress and get the evil coaches input on how far you might be able to go this season. We call this the “Heads We Win, Tails You Lose Challenge” -- you can enter your data in the 2015/2016 OS Tracking Sheet (here) and be sure to go back in Weeks 8 and 14 as well! If you hit your targets (or even come close), then you owe the evil coaches some Starbucks points.
