Winter Paralympics + Summer Triathlon Training Strategy | Kendall Gretsch

Описание: American Paralympic athlete Kendall Gretsch reveals how she manages competing in both summer and winter Paralympic Games without burning out. She does triathlon in the summer and Nordic skiing in the winter, and while people assume it's just go, go, go with no off-season or break, Kendall has a different perspective. She finds switching between seasons really refreshing because she's not grinding through off-season training the entire time. Instead, she goes into each season feeling motivated and fresh with a new perspective.

Both sports are endurance-based and highly complementary, Kendall explains. Training for one doesn't take away from the other—at least for her, they work together seamlessly. The fitness she gains each season translates directly to the next, creating a continuous improvement cycle rather than conflicting demands. This approach has allowed her to compete successfully at multiple Paralympic Games in both disciplines, proving that with the right mindset and training structure, year-round elite competition is sustainable and even energizing.
