Just got back from my 4K recovery run this morning and I’m not sure it was a recovery run as I don’t feel any better now🤣🤣
Week 4 was a breeze- repeating it for week 5 was a nightmare. How can the same 3 runs and so different? Only a couple of weeks ago I was saying things like “ just popping out for a quick 5k” and now even 4K seems a struggle. The only thing that’s changed is that in between I have helped my daughter move from her flat to her house which was a monthlong mission, involving many many stairs and me carrying most of the stuff up and down them. She can never seem to get motivated so I need to nag, prod and organise her. And then when it was all down here it was me again unpacking and moving furniture.
Also I am in the process of trialling a new preventative inhaler ( as the other one gives me Oral Thrush at the back of my throat -quite common apparently- Which causes a cough and also splits at the side of my mouth - really annoying!!)
I’m not sure the new one is as effective as I’m struggling a bit breathing while I run but also it’s mega pollenny at the moment.
I’m not sure if I want to attempt week 6 yet. Daft isn’t it as I know I’ve completed it all before but just don't seem to be getting there this year. Last year I kept finding myself running more each time but now I cannot wait for the run to be over. I do hope this improves.
Last year I couldn’t wait for the running day to come and was runnjng every other day- this year I can talk myself out of running for 3 or 4 days. ☹️😥
Any advice please ??
