I was chatting to runner yesterday about her dissapointing weekend. She had 22km on her program, but only managed 15 🏃♀️
Its not because her brain didn't want her to do the 22, its because her week had other plans. bigger days at work, more stress and the end of a big training block meant everything felt tired.
When this happens we are our own worst enemy. We start thinking that that one session is going to derail the race, that by missing that we have failed 😕
Instead we should be thinking - how good was I to listen to my body, to know when was enough and to give myself the TLC that I needed.
We can't all be elite athletes that get the recovery, the sleep, the time to complete each session like its our job - we still have a whole life and livelihood outside of it.
And that’s okay. 💚
Some days, you feel strong and other days, the warm-up feels like the whole workout.
Sometimes, adjusting means slowing down, taking a walk break, cutting the session short or giving yourself a rest day. 🌿
That doesn’t erase the work you’ve already done.
The goal isn’t to make every run perfect, it’s knowing when to adjust—and recognising that a shorter or slower run still counts. 🙌
