Now that we're well into the holiday season, and the racing season is pretty much done for the year it's time to reflect on your past season, and begin planning for next year. From a reflection perspective, I like to look at what went right and what are some of the opportunities I want to focus on improving for next year. How was the spacing of my races, did I do too many, not enough? Could I have made any tweaks to my training plan? I also like to re-evaluate pre-race nutrition and race nutrition and understand which was the best combination.
For race season planning, I evaluate what other things are going on in my life - baby, wife, job, vacations planned, other possible factors that could effect my races. Every year responsibilities evolve, and goals change. As I'm planning my season, I'm going to set my season goals first, then plan my races (as far as dates/location, and feasibility), then rank the races as either A, B, or C. A means it's a race I want to PR, where B and C races are more preparatory for the a races.
How do you plan your races?
