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. 00:00 Welcome to an Unscripted Podcast Episode 00:26 Reflecting on the Forge and Form Challenge 00:54 Understanding Post-Competition Blues 02:36 The Mental and Physical Impact of Intense Training 04:46 Navigating the Aftermath of Achievements 12:04 Embracing the Need for a Reset 14:47 Planning for Playfulness and Novelty in Training 20:27 Personal Reflections and Future Training Goals 23:40 Invitation to Join Warrior School Warrior School https://warriorschool.co/
