[QUOTE=Cypress;21293562I've always argued that people are burnt out by summer because they just spent 5-6 months training, racing, and ruining their equipment in conditions that nobody wanted to be in to begin with.[/QUOTE]
There are a lot of March heros that are toast in July. I listened to a podcast recently with some coaches and this is a big issue for them to try and manage in some clients. Especially for those that are externally motivated to train by things like Zwift racing and Strava KOM's. It's an interesting phenomenon. That is one reason I put a lot of emphasis on cross-training in the winter and why many coaches are recommending turning to they gym in the off season. Some just don't take an offseason and make themselves very vulnerable to mental and or physical burn out.
