How to Avoid the August Slump

The dog days of summer are here, and with them come the "dog days of training"- when the novelty of those blissful warm summer days wears off; and instead, we find it harder and harder to stay motivated to keep the training going through heat, summer activities, and a month where there isn't too much racing happening.  In this episode, we cover ways to combat summer fatigue. Topics covered:

• Navigating the August Slump and Motivation
• Managing the Heat and Adapting Your Training 
• Taking Vacations / August Breaks
• Avoiding the Trap of Comparison 
• Why are you doing this
• 80/20 for goals and 3-2-1 rule
• Prioritizing Sleep and Nutrition
