The hardest part about distance running
The hardest part about distance running is having the patience to wait for improvements. My natural instinct is to head out and run hard for as long as I can. Unfortunately, that is very counterproductive.
It takes a lot of discipline not to speed up at the end of a recovery run, or the day before a hard run. I need to keep reminding myself that not every training run is a race. In the long term, I will see improvements and my mileage will go up slowly. I do not need to push the pace, or push the distance now.
Mental agony.
