I’ve arrived within the in-between stage of marathon coaching. You recognize that feeling once you first begin coaching for a race, and you’ve got all the motivation? You determine that you will practice smarter than ever earlier than. You will foam roll each night time, hit each tempo completely, and crush it along with your sleep/vitamin/hydration. You’re feeling motivated and recent to go huge for the race you signed up for.
You’re feeling that method for some time, after which the motivation wears off since you get more and more drained.
That’s the place I’m at! The marathon remains to be far sufficient away (6.5 weeks) that there’s nonetheless numerous work left to do and I’m not feeling recent from all the coaching achieved to this point.
That is the a part of coaching that takes an entire lot of self-discipline (and perhaps some new working garments to offer a lift of motivation;) to maintain checking off the exercises. Don’t really feel like you might be alone when that motivation wears off. It’s a part of the coaching cycle, and we now have to maintain plugging away and staying constant as a result of it can repay on race day, and as issues get nearer… the motivation all the time comes again. Maintain going!
PS this was the very nice half about Boston for me this yr, the coaching cycle was so brief that I by no means received to this low motivation level in coaching!
