Tips for Avoiding Burnout |
 I hope you are enjoying the Fall weather, wherever you are.
I am pretty much recovered from my big race I did in October. Check out The508.com. It was a pretty brutal event - 41 hours on a bike and with over 35,000 feet of climbing for the 508 mile course.
Lots of people ask me, “What’s next?” Well, I don’t really know. I need a break, mentally and physically. And this brings me to my point for today—BURNOUT. This topic is particularly relevant to each of us that live where it gets dark and cold in the winter—a classic recipe for one to forgo workouts and curl up on the couch.
As you can imagine, I can get pretty burnt out on the crazy races I do and the huge volume of training that comes with them. When I first started training for races I would work really hard to achieve a great peak. After the races I would immediately jump back into training, fearing that I would lose all the gains I had achieved. Inevitably, this would lead to me getting tired and frustrated to the point that once I just walked into the gym and turned right around and walked back out. Once this happened I started beating myself up and getting mad for not having the mental drive to follow-through with my workouts. I realized later that I had reached the point of complete burnout.

 Hi Everyone!
Thanks for checking out my JumpSnap Nation blog! Let me introduce myself - my name is Mike Monroe, and I am part of the team over at PUSH.TV, an affiliate of JumpSnap. PUSH and JumpSnap are a great team, and I am very excited to be a part of it all. My background is very diverse, and I am actually on a second career that is a bit of an extension of my first. I was an officer in the US Marine Corps for twelve years. During that time I really got into fitness, keeping myself and my Marines fit for our rigorous lifestyle. It was back then that I began to develop new and interesting ways to exercise, using very little (or no) equipment and sometimes very little space. After my time in the military and some additional time in government service, I moved to New York City and started my fitness business, HM4 Fitness. You can check out my background over at PUSH.TV. |
