We discuss 4 Listener questions today including how to deal with the feeling of lower motivation and enthusiasm that is common in the middle/late winter for summer athletes trying to train through winter weather. We discuss getting ready for a training camp and best practices at the camp as well as What to do if you have set a goal that is ambitious (or if you coach someone who has) and how to frame the goal or adjust the goal so you thrive. Finally, we discuss elbow pain while biking and some solutions to consider that can be applied to many injuries.
