Inertia is everything 

When you’ve run 4-5 days a week the past 3 months, you’ll want to keep doing that. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is take a step back week. You don’t want to stop. 

It works the opposite way too. 

When you haven’t run at all for 3 months, then 3 months and 1 day is no big deal. You’ll be able to find an excuse to not run, as you did the weeks before. 

It’s ok to take breaks. And if you actually don’t want to run, that’s fine too. Just be truthful with yourself. I lost desire to run during 2020-2021 and have no regrets. 

It’s easy to keep running when you’ve been running, it’s hard to start running again when you’ve stopped. Inertia is everything. 

That’s how I see it. Generate some positive momentum and keep it going. That’s how you improve over the long term 🏃🏼‍♂️
