Show notes
In this unplanned and unscripted episode, I reflect on the common occurrence of post-competition or challenge blues. I talk about my experience with intense training regimens, the emotional highs of competition, and the subsequent low, unmotivated periods that followed. These post-competition blues, characterised by feelings of disappointment, depletion, and restlessness, are prevalent among all athletes in various sports, and women who train.
Whether you're into weightlifting or any sport, those feelings of disappointment and restlessness can hit hard. It's crucial to see these lows as part of the training cycle and give yourself time to recharge. I emphasise the significance of balancing structured training with periods of fluidity and playfulness to maintain a sustainable and successful training practice.
