“What a year 2017 has been, the best yet, so many memories made and lots of achievements.” That is how I started this post last year. I am not going to pretend and say to you that I have the best year but I will say that 2018 has been a whirlwind with many ups and downs. A learning curve.

After a conversation with Emma on Thursday about her blog post, burning out and listening to your body I thought it would be fitting to do a post on it as it an important topic. The last few weeks I have felt exhausted and unmotivated to train which may be due to end of term parties or the winter cold that everyone seems to have had. I have had many spontaneous rest days and taken training easy, no not because I am being lazy close to Christmas but because I know I needed to rest and let my body recover. I can tell you it pays off! This weekend I felt much stronger after a few weeks of little and easy training and today I smashed out a 4km swim!!! The longest swim I have done since the sponsored 5kms I did in March. You may have read the collab that Emma and I did at the end of the summer focusing on overtraining and rest days. I thought I would talk about the influence of technology on training. Finding the right training routine for you takes time and you have to fail to then succeed. Some people have a heavy training plan and others can’t cope with such heavy training; it all depends on you as an individual and what your body can cope with. I think many of us fall into the trap (myself included) of comparing ourselves to others, this can lead to overtraining, injury and possible mental health problems. |
