Since I have been back from Swansea I have been struggling to find the motivation to go out and run. Not ideal as I have a big finale to the year. Somebody suggested that I was putting too much pressure on myself and maybe they are right. After my DNF at Brighton marathon in April I feel under some unseen pressure to do things a certain way.
However tonight after deciding I didn't want to go out running I have decided I am not going to run much this week if at all. I have decided to tear up the training plan I downloaded and printed off for the Yorkshire Marathon. I believe once I have decided that I am having a break I will be in a happier position to get out and run again.
I know that some of my running friends will say that I won't have enough time etc but I am not a beginner having done 5 half marathons but I need a break from running for a bit.
Thank you for reading.
