November, December...oh what to do after all that regimented training! Now is the time to have fun and Relax, do all the things that you put on hold this spring and summer. If you have just completed an Ironman or half Ironman or have been racing all season then I am sure the last 8 months if not more have been consumed with thoughts of work outs, getting to bed early, no social life etc! Therefore rest is important for you mentally and physically.
If you have incurred any injuries or feel like you have weakness's, this is the time to get these looked at and get onto a programme, perhaps with your sports therapist.
Its also a time to have fun with work outs, get to the yoga class you kept putting off. Also too for me in these two months this is when I work on my weakness i.e. swimming. Take a block of time, 4 weeks or so and swim in a tangable measured way, swim 5-6 days a week. Get to your masters swim class or hire a private coach. If swimming is your focus then bike once a week and do some drills on the bike also the same with running (you can apply this formula to your weakest discipline)!
You need to feel fresh and ready to go for when you are about to start your build period for the next race season.
