Mid-Season Slump

dipLast week was a bad week for both of us.  Work commitments and just general tiredness really took its toll on our training.  I hit this during my DW training and never really managed to gain the same intensity I had previously achieved after the dip.  So the symptoms are ..

  • The voice that says stay in bed, don’t go to the gym are louder.
  • My diet has gone to pot, with an increase in refined sugar and ‘just a little treat’ becoming more common.
  • My sessions are scaled down a bit, not been quite as high on the weights or running speed.
  • Loads of late nights, this is a major problem and has to do with working on a project too late. It affects every element of my training.

After a weekend off.  This week has been declared “Get Your Act Together Week”, punishment rations, early nights and no excuses.  We will fill you in on Monday how the week went.
