Does anyone actually pay attention to warning signs? 🚧
I’m definitely trying! Tonight I had 4 easy zone 2 miles on tap. It was truly hard to get out the door! Motivation was lacking and fatigue from the long week was starting to set in. But I told myself just do 10 minutes, that’s all. After that if you want to call it, then go ahead. If you’re feeling good, then finish the run!
The first half of the run I was taking it nice and easy on stiff joints & sore glute muscles. Yesterday was a short, but intense, leg day followed by a tough interval spin on the bike trainer. In spite of all my recovery methods (foam rolling, stretching, protein, fluids, turmeric, tart cherry), I’m feeling ALL the feels today! Hoping for better sleep tonight so I can really hone in on better recovery.
Moral of the story: Easy runs on paper are not always easy in real life. Don’t compare yourself to others. Give yourself some grace in times like these and listen to your body! It will thank you!
