Last week I had a bad week š I just couldnāt get in any kind of rhythm with my running and I was well and truly knackered after each of the runs. They all felt longer than 25 minutes and I think the toxic ten minutes was with me the whole way.
Now I know I wasnāt in a good place mentally and stress wise last week but as I run first thing in the morning and I really do try to be positive, I didnāt think this would have a big effect. Do you think it did?
To be honest I felt like a real fraud last week. I feel I wasnāt really running for that 25 minutes, I was kind of flip flopping and huffing my way round my loop and could hardly say I had achieved it or had made any progress.
This morning I did my W8R1 and I felt better than last week but I still feel Iāve lost something and that Iām somehow not doing it properly because Iām so so slow. Iām not sure the trades descriptions people shouldnāt arrest me for saying Iām running when Iām kind of flip flopping at a speed which seems to be slower than I can walk š©
Has anyone else felt like this before and if so, how can do you convince yourself again that it really is helping your fitness? Am I really doing any better for my body than just power walking the distance? I believe I can make it to the final run next week but if I donāt feel itās doing me any good, Iām worried I wonāt have the will power to continue on after that with less structured support š
