Burnout hit me hard this week. Here’s what I learned.

Hey


This week's newsletter is out, and this week I will discuss


"Burnout hit me hard this week. Here’s what I learned."


Last week, I came back from a much-needed holiday.


You’d think I’d be full of beans, right?


But after jumping straight back into training—Watt Bike, weights, weekend ride, the usual—I hit a wall.


Saturday's ride? I got through it. I rode pretty strongly.


But something was missing.


The buzz.

The drive.

The joy.

My legs felt like bricks, but it wasn’t just physical. The spark that normally lights me up when I’m out riding… it just wasn’t there.


Then on Sunday, I went for a 10-mile hike. Normally, that’s my thing—fresh air, open trails, big skies.

But it felt like a chore.


Halfway through, I realised: this isn’t just fatigue. This is burnout creeping in.

Have a great weekend
