About this listen
Training stress isn’t just about mileage, vert, or workouts — it’s about everything else competing for your energy, too.
In this episode of Trail Society, Corrine Malcolm and co-host Hillary Allen share both the science and their experiences with mental fatigue, allostatic load, and burnout. From road marathon training and international travel to work stress, technology overload, and emotional strain, they unpack why athletes often feel exhausted even when training volume drops.
Training stress doesn’t exist in isolation. If you’ve ever wondered why you feel flat during a taper, overwhelmed by metrics, or stuck in a cycle of doing “more,” this episode gives you permission to zoom out and reset.
