The 22-year-old has been sidelined with shin splints and was forced to stop training about halfway through December.
One of the country’s top middle-distance runners last summer, Bremer had reached the point where it was "pretty much impossible" to train.
That meant he took some time off and, while cross-training right through, he is now getting back into it.
However, rather than getting too upset, the Hill City-University runner is looking at the bigger picture.
"I’m sort of aiming to go to Europe and do some racing over in Europe in 2019 with Oli [Chignell] and my coach, Chris Pilone.
"In a way, it’s not terrible timing because that’s the more important thing for me.
"So as long as I’m all right for that, that’ll be fine."
Athletics New Zealand has a base in Belgium for athletes wanting to compete on the European circuit.
That helps with the cost of the trip, although Bremer said he was still saving as much money as he could.
He said the races were fast over there, which would hopefully push him on to run fast times.
Despite that long-term goal, he did admit it would have been nice to race this year, feeling he had been in good shape.
There are no concerns about slowing down, however, with Bremer confident he will bounce back.He has kept up doing what training he could and is focused on returning for the winter season.
"I mean I don’t think I’ve lost any real fitness. I’ve been cross-training like a mad man the whole time I’ve been injured.
"I’m sure when I come back I’ll be stronger than I was last season.
"I might not have the same sort of speed, but that’ll come, I’m not concerned at all.
"I’ve been through plenty of injuries and I always come back."
