My running thus far in 2015 has been less than stellar, to say the least! I have only raced a couple times, not due to injury or other unforeseen circumstances. Mostly, I have been plagued by low motivation, which has honestly never been an issue for me.
Looking back on the last 6-ish months, my main struggles have been:
1. No big goal races, so no real need to crush out hard workouts week after week
2. Changes in my schedule that made my running a little more inconsistent and erratic
3. Less willingness to run by myself when I didn't feel like running
...yeah, not the best reasons.
BUT, I feel like I'm back on track and finally feeling like my old, motivated self.
What changed?
1. The beginning of summer is here. That means that marathon season is approaching and I better start getting my head in the game!
2. Found a fun 5k training plan that is giving me some much needed structure (aka telling me what to do)
3. Feeling okay with pounding out more miles alone (although I much prefer my running buddies)
How do you get back on track after you've lost motivation?
