Using the Tough Runs for Motivation, Training Is All About the Ups and Downs

ByTim Nolte

Despite another night of not sleeping well, and a late night on top of that. I managed to drag myself out of bed and get out and run. Even better I managed to challenge my best 5 mile time in the past few weeks as my goal to beat, and I managed to beat it by a more than a minute.

Most runs aren’t going to be a PR, or a finish that feels great. Some days it’s going to feel like you’ve never ran a mile in your life. All of those hard days are just days where you body is adapting to your running, and every one of those hard days helps to make the good days that much better.
