• When going on holiday, adjust your training based on the type of trip and the resources available.
• Taking time off from training can be beneficial for recovery and overall well-being.
• Maintaining consistency in training is important, but it's also okay to prioritise rest during holidays.
• Finding training partners and communities can enhance the training experience while travelling.
