Common problematic thread in endurance coaching: Too much focus on workouts... too little focus on training monotony, how you live/recover between workouts, where you are fitness-wise, whether or not these workouts are what you need right now.

The 2 questions that every athlete should be able to answer *before* doing a high intensity training session: How much fitness will I get from this session? How much fatigue will I get from this session? It is very common to overestimate the former and underestimate the latter.

You can't shed fatigue without shedding some fitness. To keep improving, you have to become OK with that. Show me an athlete addicted to trying to hold onto their fitness from season to season & I will show you an athlete who stopped getting better.
