AMR Trains: How to Cope with the Post-Race Blues

This podcast will resonate with anybody who has crossed a finish line—and unexpectedly fel sad, listless or empty in the days following. 
Dimity talks to Jodi Edmonds, who ran her first marathon in October and was surprised by the post-race blues she felt after her very successful race, and Dr. Erin Alaya, a Licensed Psychologist who specializes in health and sport psychology.
The trio candidly discuss:
—How typical—and total normal—it is to feel the post-race blues;
—How your personal values come into play when you lose the focus and structure of training;
—What you can do to prepare for them before you cross your finish line;
—And when it makes sense to call in a professional to help you through them.
