It’s the time of year in the northern hemisphere when many riders look back on the season just gone and start planning for the one ahead. In this episode, Ronan Mc Laughlin speaks with Tim Cusick, world-class coach, founder of BaseCamp, a global, community-driven training platform and WKO5 product leader, about how to review your past year of training and use it to shape a smarter strategy for the next.

They cover why rigid, box-ticking annual plans often fall short, how to know when it’s time to move on a training phase or hold steady, and how to use data to guide decisions without being ruled by numbers.
