#117 - Have you ever hit a wall at a point in time during training or races? It could be burnout and it manifests itself in different ways; and is an experience that many dedicated runners face at some point in their journey. In this episode, I talk about the topic of burnout, using my personal experiences as a case study to shed light on how runners can overcome this challenge. 

As I share my journey through recent races like the Spartan DEKA races and the Gulf Beach half marathon, discover how I managed the highs of personal bests and the lows of unexpected fatigue, as well as the critical lessons learned about balancing training regimens and managing expectations. 

Topics Covered:

  • Hear about my recent race experience and steps leading to burnout
  • Listen to how burnout was affecting me and the toll it can take 
  • Learn about ten ways to bounce back from burnout
