In 2012 following the London Olympic Games I began to struggle mentally after experiencing such an incredible high point. At times I felt completely isolated and turned to partying in an attempt to numb those feelings of loneliness. Many athletes go through a similar process which is often referred to as the Olympic Blues. Four years later I had a different experience after failing to qualify for the Olympic team in Rio but it was equally as challenging to navigate. The Paris Games is now in the rear view mirror for most of us but the athletes that took centre stage will be gradually adapting back into their normal daily life. For me personally this time has been a great opportunity to reflect on the year so far and talk about parenthood, the podcast and my own training goals beyond 2024. And this is my story.
