[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

If you are dreading your runs then you are obviously not enjoying them, which is frequently caused by going too fast. Forget about trying to prove anything to yourself and accept that building running stamina is a long slow process and that speed is irrelevant at this stage of your training.

Relax and enjoy it. Are you running outdoors?

Wise words lannodaTruffe 👍🏻

That’s it... get your butt out there and just a relaxed run... you can do it

4 times a week.???? Well...no wonder you're dreading the runs..just slow down and take the advice from IannodaTruffe ..this is supposed to be for enjoyment not an endurance exercise...

Relax...and take it gently😊

Yep all the advice above is what I would have said. If you're not enjoying it maybe running is not for you or you are just overdoing it. Your body must be exhausted. You have nothing to prove, except to yourself so take some pressure off yourself.
