I didn't do Tuesday, but I got on a treadmill for some light jogging (in intervals) for half an hour today!
I’m a morning runner. In the summer I get up around 5 and am out the door around 6. In the winter I push that to a little later. I’m in bed by 9 pm though so getting up early isn’t so hard for me.
I feel like I could handle that...with my work schedule, I have to be DONE with my run by 5:30. I've tried it before but I really hate getting up at 4 :30 a.m. Evening runs aren't bad though, so it works.
Day 2 of the training program complete! Had a tough run this morning for some reason - not sure why. It was great weather, I was well rested, and I just did 3 miles at a moderate pace. But I felt really sluggish and it seemed to drag. Anyone else have days like this?? Was weird, cause I did 8 last Sunday and felt great
Me! I ran 7 miles and felt great two weeks ago but struggled at the end of my 3 mile run yesterday. I think with the short runs I push myslef too much.
Makes me feel better! I think sometimes I underestimate the fact that 3 miles is a decently long distance, and I expect it to come more easily than it does. It seems that so much of running is a mind game for me.
I'm doing my training! I swear, I have a harder time doing the short runs rather than the long ones. Maybe that's a good sign that I'll survive the half? Maybe?
I have so many weird mental things like that. For example, no matter how far I run, that last half mile is torture. Always the worst. I can run a 10k one weekend and be fine for that first 5 and a half miles, but them I'm so tired for that last half. Then, the next weekend is a simple 3 miles. Half the distance. No problem, right? Right... for 2.5 miles. I'm such a weirdo.I have the same problem. I hate 3 mile runs. My favorite are 5-8 miles. I know it's mental.
