How Can You Get Better?🤔 More than one answer to this when it pertains to training. My top answer is CONSISTENCY.👍 I'm usually consistent and disciplined but not this past week. Day Off Sunday. Holding myself accountable. Ready for Monday. Moving FORWARD.👊 #running #fitness

@LynnSmith172480 I definitely do. Most days I'll drink 12 (mostly full) glasses of water a day. My reason for being tired at that point had more to do with my recovery. I need to improve my sleep by getting more hours each day.

@moveatwill Are you drinking enough water? Just checking.

Rest When Needed.🤔 Day Off Monday. Sometimes rest can be in the beginning, middle, or end of the week. I've been running for over 25 years. One of the many reasons that made that possible is prioritizing recovery. Listen to your body. Do what's right for YOU.👍 #running #fitness

@RaceMatcher Thank you! Whenever I'm feeling down about a run I try to remember the positive and the importance of long term consistency. Getting out there on the those tough days isn't easy but it pays off down the road.

@moveatwill Those are the runs that build you up the most. Felt awful, still got out there, still hit every workout for the week. 7.55 on a bad day is solid, and the strength work on top of it is serious consistency.

Disappointing Run But Staying Consistent.👍 Negative - I felt completely trashed.🫤 Positive - I hit every workout for the week.👊 On Sunday I ran 7.55 miles. Didn't feel my best. Decent weather.🏃‍♂️ I also did strength training bodyweight exercises. Core.💪 #running #fitness

@Challenge_Run_ Very true indeed.

@moveatwill 1.19 miles in threatening weather is still a run. 'I still did something' is exactly the right frame — the habit outlasts the conditions.

I Still Did Something.👍 Severe thunderstorms have been an issue over the last month which made this run VERY short. On Monday I ran 1.19 miles. Didn't feel my best. Decent weather.🏃‍♂️ I also did strength training bodyweight exercises. Core.💪 Moving FORWARD.👊 #running #fitness

@Challenge_Run_ Thank you.

@moveatwill 1.19 miles beats 0 every time. Getting out in that window between storms takes more than an easy day.
