Chris Bennett, of Nike Run Club fame, wrote an article on July 3, 2019, that “spoke” to me. I have been struggling a bit with motivation to run, as work pressures mount, stealing all my daylight (running) hours, as the weather turns unseasonably cold in record time (to suit my liking), and as wildlife increasingly gathers along my running routes. At times I feel “failure trumping fun”.
Reading Chris’ article titled “Running Easy Makes Hard Running Feel Way Easier—Here’s How” is helping me regain my perspective. “Re-find” my FUN. Feel my inner motivation.
In Chris’ article, I learned easy running is real running, too. It’s not just hard running that counts… We NEED the easy running to help accomplish our hard running. Check out his article. Well worth the read. Be prepared to dodge around the ads as you read.
Happy running!
