Hi everyone,
I’ve been having a difficult time again recently, not with running, but with the motivation to actually do it. When it snowed it completely threw my schedule out the window and I just can’t seem to get myself back into the programme which is a shame as I was moving on to W4 and I noticed then that I was definitely progressing. I’ve been out walking a lot to try to keep myself active instead of just doing nothing and I can easily get myself out to do that but not for running...
With a lot of other things in my life I find it extremely hard to stick to routines and find it difficult to get things done so I knew that I’d struggle with this but I just didn’t think I would be so bad. I’m so desperate to get healthy and I thought that would really push me on to achieve but here I am 😓.
Any advice?
(Also I’m sorry I know that a few of my posts have been about my motivation problems 😩).
You are not alone! The bad weather and short days knocked me back as well. I decided to try one 25 min run a week after Dec, but I didn't even keep that going during the snow and ice. Starting again this month but it's erratic. Sometimes I manage a good run, sometimes not. It is difficult to keep a routine going but I just keep plodding on. Don't knock yourself, just do what you can, even if it's sporadic. The good weather and longer days are not far away. Just try and focus on the euphoria when you do get out there.
It’s so hard isn’t it! And it’s crazy because everytime I finished one I felt amazing after and loved that feeling but I still can’t seem to get myself out there.... thank you, I think with the weather changing hopefully that will make me want to get out there!! Thank you for replying ☺️
