Mental vs physical

[Runningbunnyears]

W8R3 rely struggled with this one, the worst one for me. Physically I knew I could do it as I've done the other 2 this week but today was a mental struggle of could I, should I.

I did it and I'm hoping that W9R1 will be better .

Well done for completing week 8. Now on in its all a mental game. This heat is energy sapping so accommodate by slowing down. All the best for your graduation week👍

Well done.

Everything going on in our lives can impact on our performance as a runner. Restedness, hydration and nutrition are at the top of my list of variables that need to be optimised to enable enjoyable running.

Alongside those, there are the external factors......temperature, humidity, running surface etc. etc

Planning around these influences and reducing demands or expectations if they will prevail can make life much easier, just by slowing down.
