in Fitness and Exercise
Has anyone experienced this?

I'll have no problem training up to a race (5k) and I'll run it successfully. And I'm super excited about accomplishing goals, feeling good, etc.

But then after the race (like for a few weeks) I get depressed and don't want to do any type of fitness.

Does anyone go through this? Any advice on how to minimize these slumps?

Thanks in advance :)

    Book another race for a longer distance.

    Done already lol, I have races booked all summer. So I don't think it's a "nothing to do anymore" thing.

    I always get a little down after a race, but I only do one or two races a year

    maybe its just a natural thing then, coming off of adrenaline, etc.
