I'm trying desperately to get back into running after really not feeling it all year. I've really got back into cycling which is GOOOD but running is so much more time efficient for weekdays - I can't bring myself to ride in the dark or bad weather for 'fun'. I've signed up for a HM as motivation but it's not working!
I stopped running in the summer, I didn't like doing it in in the heat..
And of course longer sessions of cycling are more feasible with longer days.
And there's the beach, and and...
I'm going to take it up again in a couple of weeks time though, as it did make me feel so much better..Throughout the winter, having that big old burst of exercise in just an hour.
I didn't lose fitness so much.
Where I am though there's lots of splishy sploshy , fun muddy tracks and high heathland to run on..
I guess it's harder if you've not got that..
Tbh I never really 'felt like' going running, in the way that I often randomly 'feel like' going for a bike ride..
I think you have to make an appointment with yourself (or even someone else) and just go for it.
No questions asked of yourself as to whether you
want to, or feel like it .
Because its sooo easy to say you'll do it tomorrow..
Is there some other reward or incentive you can give yourself, if the half marathon goal isn't doing it for you ,??
