I have had a lurgy lurking for a few weeks now.it comes & goes but doesnt seem to disappear!!!the last couple of runs i have had to stop & walk a couple of times...only for a minute...but i am rapidly losing confidence in myself here!!!i am hoping its because i am under the weather & NOT because i am rubbish & not progressing?!!!
You know what I feel Claire. Don't think for one moment that you are worthless.
Gosh.. time to take that breath, and look at yourself, your strength and your determination.
This time of the year can be very debilitating.. the weather is only just improving and the days getting longer.. the bugs are whizzing around trying to attack us with whatever and it takes a lot sometimes to head out there...but you did!
Take a peek at the links I gave you.. I think we can find something to get you going again... time for a new adventure? xx
Thankyou lovely...its a challenging time for me i guess & running is probably the only thing that i am able to achieve in & its frustrating when it feels as if i am sliding backwards xx
We often underestimate the impact of illness upon our general condition and you are in the situation that most runners, myself included, find themselves from time to time.
You need to build yourself back up again,slow and steady.
You can't just jump back in where you left off. Create a progressive structure to your comeback, maybe just drop back into C25K and build yourself back to fitness.
We all have to accept that we are where we are, regarding fitness and performance and create a plan to move forward, without being frustrated that you cannot achieve what you previously did. Life is not linear.
