Can't buy happiness, but a bike is closeMotivation can be a tricky thing for a cyclist to find, especially after a big “A” race or event.  But motivation is often what gets us off our ass, off the sofa and onto the bike and lacking it can be deadly for our fitness (and waist line.)

But how do you go about getting your motivation back after you've spent months training for a huge event?  What do you do with that gigantic hole left in your life when you don't have a training plan to follow?  Today's podcast will discuss a few tips for rebuilding your motivation, including:

  • Revising your goals and setting new ones if necessary
  • Taking some time away from structure (ride with friends or do a Strava Challenge)
  • Going back to fundamentals (and being motivated by your quick progress)

I'm also running a Giro d'Italia special for my Modular Training Plans: enter the code “giro2013” to take 15% off any or all of my modular plans.  Hurry though, this offer only lasts as long as the Giro does.
