Episode 5 – Monday Running Motivation: #MRM

September 14, 2015 by Cris 4 Comments

Remember last week's 10km race? In the women's category, I placed 38 out of 297.

Good morning everyone! How’s your Monday going on? Yay or nay? :)) When your day isn’t going your way, go running! That’s what I say and do. 🙂 Happy Monday, by the way!

Thank you AGAIN for sharing the love with me (and please keep sharing it!).

Alex – “Nice running motivation. Made me wonder how much over my usual warm up 2km I could go. 🙂 I’ll find out one autumn evening.”

Otilia – “I love this new series you’ve started! I can’t wait for Monday to come to see what you’re writing about!
Keep up the good work, you’re an inspiration to a lot of us
!”

Susannah – “Feel so motivated, Cris. Thank you! Just got my new running shoes.”

Sarah – “I’m motivated. Going for a run later today!”

Chrys – “Good morning sunshine! Cheers to a happy, healthy kickstart to the weekend. Thanks for so much running motivation. I am off running!”

Today I give you a piece of my mind, namely REST.

If your legs are fatigued and aren’t keeping up with your training plans, take a few days break for recovering. And REST!

I am telling you this because it’s only recently happened to me. According to my iWatch, last week I was running 83 km. Basically, I run four to five times a week, but all of them are high-quality runs (e.g. a speed workout, tempo run, long run, and easy run). A lot? Maybe. My mind always says ‘Not enough’, but my legs say ‘Give me a break!’

So I did. And I am not running until tomorrow.

Recommandation: If your legs are tired, it may be a sign that something in your system is out of balance. Look at the big picture, reevaluate your runs, and take a break to ensure your legs are also recovering. Usually, the break has a positive effect on your running performance.

Now off running & be happy!

P.S. And don’t forget to share a picture from your run on your favorite social media channel with both hashtags –#mondayrunningmotivation & #cookitfit. I’d love to see them!

With LOVE1
