A few days after taking part in a big physical activity is when the dust can really start to settle on what you have achieved (or what you think you haven’t achieved), and the post marathon blues can properly kick in. Chris has experienced this many times when playing for his club and country, with people seeing on a global scale if he hasn’t performed to his best ability.   

In this episode, Chris and Jamie provide advice on how to handle feeling lost and wondering what you should be doing with your life now the thing you’ve been working so long for has come to an end. 

Mental health is so important and just talking to someone who may have gone through a similar experience, like running a marathon, will be incredibly helpful in managing your current state of mind and to come out of it feeling more positive. Listen in to hear other techniques that both Chris and Jamie have implemented when they have had similar feelings… plus some secret nipple cream tips.
