Thanks for posting this, especially posing that last question. Personally, I really struggle with forcing myself to go slow… I know the importance of easy running is true, just hate that it is.

I’m glad you were able to tune in! Thanks for the comment. More so than slowing down, I think emphasizing the purpose of each day can help motivate you to be present and make conscious decisions as to how hard you’re pushing yourself on a day-to-day basis. There’s a place for every type of running in a plan, and putting emphasis on what your body needs TODAY, and not getting greedy might help you do what is required to improve. Thanks again, sub for more and let’s chat again soon ✌️
