December is a strange month in the athlete universe. Most athletes have come off a rest block or are about to take one; the days are almost at their shortest of the year; winter training groups might be on holiday break; and there may or not be any rhyme or rhythm to training. We are here to help you through this month. Topics covered include how to come off a rest block, planning 2025, coaching, how to handle training in December, and if Angela and Amy can punch each other in a boxing class ;). Lots of info and fun in this one, as usual! Have a listen.

Angela and Lindsay Long (coach and athlete of Angela's) join Amy for a race recap of Ironman Cozumel. And although there is talk of the gorgeous swim, the 3 loop bike, and the hot run, the conversation detours into adjacent topics- how to do 3 Ironman races in 4 months, colliding with a truck (!!), and debates on carb consumption and hydration and fueling. So much is covered in this podcast and a massive congrats to both Lindsay and Angela on their strong performances to wrap up their 2025 season. Have a listen!
