I have the get up and go to run every other day or everyday for maybe two or three months at a time. Then, out of the blue, I’ll skip a run, then two runs, then the whole week.
I’m currently in one of these ruts(I’m lacing up my shoes right now, I swear) but I was just wondering if anyone has any strategies for getting out of it. Mine is brute force my way back into it until I’m back in the groove. But this usually ends with me doing too many miles too quickly. Then the injury, the the time off, oh the cycle repeats.
What are your strategies for getting out of a rut? Or even better not getting into it in the first place?
Do you switch up your run routes at all? I get the same way after running on the same bike path a few times. Changing the scene could be helpful. Maybe a trail run if you only run on pavement, or driving to a destination for a scenic run.
Yeah that could be it, I usually run from my house due to time constraints, (I work 11am to 11pm). I’d love to find somewhere to do some trail running
