A new year means new opportunities to level up your endurance game! Whether you’re training for your first big race or aiming to set a PR this season, here are some essential do’s and don’ts from your Boundless Team to guide you through 2025 like a pro.
DO: Try Something New
Switch things up in 2025! Try a new race, cross-train with a new sport, or attend a new camp like our Arizona Run Camp. Exploring fresh approaches and new challenges can reignite your passion for the sport.
DON’T: Neglect Nutrition
Fueling your body properly isn’t optional—it’s essential. Don’t wait until race day to figure out your nutrition strategy; practice it during training to see what works best for you. Work with one of our Nutrition Coaches to see how prioritizing nutrition can significantly impact your performance in 2025.
DO: Prioritize Recovery
Rest days, mobility work, and sleep are your secret weapons! Incorporating recovery into your training plan will keep you strong and injury-free.
DON’T: Overcommit
It’s tempting to sign up for every possible race, but spreading yourself too thin can lead to burnout. Choose events that excite and challenge you, then focus on quality over quantity. Check out our events page here to see our favorite affiliate races!
DO: Focus on Mental Toughness
Endurance sports are as much about the mind as the body. Strengthening your mental resilience, especially for races like the Leadville Trail 100, will allow you to keep pushing yourself when your body can’t. Fuel your mind and your journey to peak performance by working with a Performance Psychology Coach this year.
DON’T: Compare Yourself to Others
Your journey is yours alone. It’s great to be inspired by others, but avoid the comparison trap. Focus on your progress and celebrate every step forward.
DO: Find Your Team
Training with a community will always make the most of your journey. Connect with fellow athletes, join a community, or sign up for coaching to surround yourself with like-minded individuals. We welcome all levels and individuals to join our Boundless Team and dig deep in 2025!
2025 is a blank slate, full of potential and possibilities. Follow these simple do’s and don’ts, and you’ll be well on your way to a year of endurance, growth, and success.
