S2|E6: How to Avoid the Mid-Training Slump

You know that dreaded feeling …

That feeling when the excitement from the first weeks of training fades, the long runs turn seriously long, and all you want to do is sit on the couch with a beer and a bag of Oreos.

In today’s episode, we attack the slump from every angle, in an effort to bulletproof your training and avoid the downturn all together.

Oh, and before you jump to any conclusions … no, this is not just another “50 ways to mix up your routine” list. The internet has plenty of those already.
