Confession time...
I haven’t been on my bike lately. I was on a bit of a hiatus. I missed one day and then it spiralled into two weeks. Work was really busy, my energy was a bit low, and I just wasn’t feeling inspired to ride. I’ve still been getting in my run workouts, but... I missed all my bike sessions.
I’m sharing this because I have patients who are so hard on themselves for missing some of their own sessions, whether it’s their rehab exercises or a workout. Some don’t even want to tell me that they haven’t been able to get them in.
Believe me, I get it. It happens. Life can get in the way. But the most important part is to recognize that the slump is there, and find a way to get back on track. Assess the excuses, find some support, and get back in the saddle, so to speak.
The good news is that de-training takes a lol longer than a couple of weeks, though the impacts I felt on my quality of life were more immediate.
So, here I am. Back on my bike. I’m taking it easy because I’m still a bit tired and achy from my vaccine yesterday. But here we go!
If you need some help getting back on track, just let me know.
