Don't feel like training?

The end of the season is soon here and after 10 months of training, motivation and desire is minimal. Why keep training; is it even important?

Think of it this way, you have spent many months developing your Chronic Training Load (CTL) only to watch it decline during your competition phases of training. By mid season, CTL must be revisited so fitness can last until the end of your competitive season. But remember, as your CTL increases, it must decrease. The trick is to monitor it so that it does not fully erode back to where you started at the beginning of your training last year. By training through Sept and the beginning of Oct, Nov and Dec can be relatively low training months so that you can enjoy a relaxing holiday season.

But what type training is appropriate?
