Post season/training cycle analysis

[katinthehat]

Do you do any sort of post season/training cycle analysis?  What kind of things do you look for, analyze, try to take away with you?

Not really. I usually have a pretty fair idea of what I'd like to improve on for the next cycle, and where I'd like to go, goal-wise, next. I don't do any detailed analysis. I often jump right into something new. Technically my last week of tri season and my last Oly tri this season were week 1 of my fall HM training cycle.  Unless I am really feeling physically broken down (like I did after my first HIM), I don't have a good history of using down time constructively.

Not really. I guess you could look at what worked as far as scheduling, building your training, technique, etc.

But I need a break from analyzing everything. I'm having fun now just running and swimming when I want.
