-What is "base training" or the "off-season" - how long does it last, when does it start, when does it end, and what are the objectives of it?

-Should you take time completely off training?

-Methodologies for structuring your base training

-Common mistakes to avoid in base training

-Considerations other than training to make the most of your base training phase
