Description

Feeling flat, foggy or just can’t be bothered to train?
Burnout doesn’t always come in hot with a meltdown and a for-sale bike post. Sometimes it’s the slow creep of fatigue, motivation dips and sugar cravings that chip away at your performance and love of the sport.

In this episode, Taryn unpacks the 3 key questions every triathlete should ask themselves to figure out if they’re on the burnout train — and what to do if the answer is yes.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why this topic hits close to home for so many triathletes
  • Question 1: Are you feeling flat all the time?
  • The sneaky signs of under-fuelling you might be ignoring
  • Question 2: What’s really happening after your sessions?
  • Recovery nutrition mistakes that cost you more than you think
  • Question 3: Hungry all the time or not at all? Here’s why that matters
  • Real talk on what burnout looks like and how to fix it
