R&R Update

Seeing the Light

The reduced mileage, zero speedwork and slow-pace running has, as yet, failed to revive me. These past few weeks I’ve rarely completed a run over 6 miles and most have been 5 or less, yet still, my legs often feel listless. The further step of running only 3-4 times a week at easy pace over short distances does not seem to have helped either, so the only option left seems like full abstention for a couple of weeks.

Whilst painful at first to accept, now I have come to terms with my drop in form and fitness and the need to take it easy, I feel strangely liberated! There's a message in there somewhere.
