The 'post-race blues' are a common and natural experience which most athletes will experience at some point in their journey. We need to talk about, normalise and understand them more in the running community to help people prepare and strategise for them in advance. This episode will help you to do that. www.robmason.run Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089043347091 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmasonruns/ Thanks to massage guru, 21 time Ironman finisher and owner of  'Float Om Kiama', Jamie Williams for the idea for this episode.
