Lost my Mojo

[Aruba2020]

Since my ankle injury I’ve lost my Mojo running. 😢 Haven’t done any running for 2months. Should I start all over again? Anyone felt the same after an injury?

I'm out of action myself at the moment because of a knee injury, I think when it's fixed I'll do a couple of rest runs to see what I need to do and what level I'm at then.

Maybe you could do a few short runs just to see how you feel.

It is so easy to lose mojo after some time out. Start small, I say. Go out for a slow 15 minute run somewhere nice, with no aim or goal. I guarantee you won't regret it. 15 minutes is enough to get that lovely running glow back usually. From there, if that gets you excited again, you can build up a little with each run. Alternatively (and I don't normally advocate spending!), a new piece of running kit as a treat to yourself can help you get out again.

I think it’s hard to mentally get over an injury. Takes the same grit as it took you to graduate in the first place. Do a practice run and tell us how it goes.
