Plan a Year of Recreational Sport Without Burning Out

You play for fun but you have a couple of events that matter, and you tend to either undertrain or arrive exhausted. This builds an annual structure: when to peak, when to back off, and how to still enjoy the thing all year. For recreational athletes who want to arrive fresh and stay keen.

**Design an annual structure for this recreational athlete:**
1. Peak period: when to be at best fitness and preparation, tied to {SPORT_AND_KEY_EVENTS}
2. Build period: the eight to twelve weeks before the peak, focused on increasing load
3. Base period: off-season or lower-intensity phase, focused on general fitness and restoration
4. Transition period: active rest after the peak period to prevent the burnout that comes from training all year at the same intensity
5. Cross-training: what complementary activities to include in each phase

**Keep it realistic:**
This is a recreational athlete with a job and a life. The plan should be sustainable.
