"Serious training plans" are periodized into macrocycles, mesocycles and microcycles - over the course of a year, a season, a month, a week.
For "everyWOman", surely it also makes sense not to do the same thing every month of the year because it won't get you further... even without grand training ambitions.
Allowing your body to repair, rest, cross train, collect motivation - that's winter business

It doesn't mean "sit on the sofa and eat pizza for three months!" Stay active, but if you are on a serious training program, take this time to cross train and do other activities. When I was racing, that is what we did in the winter.
