Lost motivation

4 years ago, I used to swim an average of 4000-5000 meters a day, sometimes with a coach, sometimes on my own, over the years that went down to the point that I’m happy if I pass 2000 meters. My problem is my low motivation, my best times are really far from where I’m at, I can train with a team only twice a week, and I have very little time to practice since I’m studying a lot, but somehow I manage to go everyday. So, I don’t know if I just got really bored or stressed, but my will power to go to the pool every day is disappearing, this last month I really didn't care if I missed 2-4 days of pool in one week, and the days I do go, I don't even push myself like I used to. What can I do?

    It sounds like its time to take a break or train for a new event. Perhaps just commit to training twice weekly with the team for a few weeks and focus on a different stroke or perhaps train for an event you have never swum, or not swum in a long time? I think most of us have our ups and downs :bighug:
