Thanks and I hope you’re back to it soon – let me know how you get on. And I will push on – I know how incredibly fortunate I am to have a place again at London. I’ll also be keeping in mind the charity I’m running for – running for those women and girls who can’t because of gender inequalities! I’m looking forward to it! Cheers!

Very true – makes you appreciate it all the more and the crave the hard training days again. Hoping I’ll be back in a few more weeks. Good luck with the marathon – when it gets really tough, just think of all of us unable to run at the moment and push on! 🙂

Thank you and I’m pleased it struck a cord, it means I’m not completely insane! And I hope you’re well and back to training soon. The only plus side of having the frustration and negative thoughts around not being able to run is that’s when you know you really are a runner!

I had a really bad interval session at the beginning of March and all of those negative emotions reeled through my mind. I’ve been sidelined ever since – turns out it was a virus working on me.

Now, of course, I have the battle of trying to rest and not train in order to allow recovery… cue more frustration and negative thoughts! Who’d be a runner, eh?

Cheers and here’s hoping! Happy running!

It sucks but it happens. Often a bad run is followed by a really good one and then you remember why you love running. Hope your next one is magical.

Thanks Darren! I look forward to reading your post. The main thing for me is to try and keep this in perspective – I can only do so much in the next 7 weeks, there will be runs that don’t go to plan but working hard on not beating myself up about it! Cheers and happy running!

What you just described epitomizes a post I’m working on about our inner chimps (research from the chimp paradox.) Well done for thinking with perspective, it definitely helps the tough patches…not long now 🙂

And tell myself don’t be silly think if what you achieved and kick myself up the bun and go out the next day after a good night sleep xx

Yep, we’ve all pretty much been there! The main thing is to not let a bad run or two get in the way!
