FEELING BLAH? WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK

Hello, hello!

This week was all about getting out of a funk—and understanding what got you into it. If you haven't listened to the podcast we did with researcher and triathlete Alex Coates, it is a MUST LISTEN all about overtraining, overreaching, and RED-S. This is a super important topic for ALL endurance athletes. And if you do have all of your physical/health-based ducks in a row but you're still feeling blah, I'm also over here talking about handling a lack of motivation (for training or for work) and some practical tips on how to get through it. 

Check out the article and podcast here:

• How to Handle Plummeting Motivation

• Relative Energy Deficiency – RED-S – Alex Coates

As always, thanks for being part of our crew—hope you have an active, healthy week!!
