How Do Triathletes Avoid Training and Racing Burnout?

About this episode

The episode discusses how triathletes can avoid the cycle of training and racing burnout at the end of the season.

We've all been there - it's the end of the racing season and we are DONE. No more getting up early, no more watching what we eat, we are cooked! So, we take a couple of months off, gain a bunch of weight until one day, we get excited about training again. But it takes us months to get back to where we were. But we do it and we have a fun season but then, by the end, we are DONE! Rinse and repeat. So, how do we get off that merry-go-round? Join our community at www.patreon.com/TheLonelyTriathlete
