Running Tip of the Month
|
Don't get discouraged
It can be frustrating to think about your past running accomplishments and how they’re out of reach at this point. Don't beat yourself up and put pressure on yourself to get to your previous level. Set new, smaller goals for yourself so that you feel good about reaching milestones and build more confidence as you continue running. There will be plenty of time to train and work on beating your PBs. Just try to enjoy running as you work on building up your fitness level gradually and safely. If you do find yourself getting frustrated about your progress, talk to sympathetic running friends, who most likely have had a similar experience at some point. And remind yourself to be grateful and happy to be able to run at all, even if it's not the same pace that you've run in the past. |
