Episode 253: How it feels to hit 'that' point in prep

About this episode

Vaughan discusses the emotional and physical challenges faced 6-8 weeks out from a fitness competition.

Join me in todays episode where I discuss the reality of how it feels to be 6-8 weeks out from your show. I go into what is 'normal' for this point in your prep and what to expect if you haven't quite got to that point yet. This is usually the point in prep where people dig their heels in and get on with it or quit.Follow me on instagram:@prepcoachukEnquire to join the team today.
