It’s the last day of August 2020. As mentioned, I have been listening and resting my body from running. This doesn’t mean I rest completely from all forms of exercises. Working out is equivalent to food for our body.
So this month has been focused on other activities besides running.
With the weather being great, I focused on cycling, hiking, walking. Sometimes our bodies tells us to take a break from intense workouts.
One weekend, I did a 50k bike ride in two days.
Another weekend, I went on a day hike to 3 different trails.
And now, returned back to running this last week – ran a total 21.1 km in three days.
As weather is cooling down, I will start up my training process – running 3 times per week.
A quote to share – “Strive for progress, not perfection”
Endurance runners’ majority of the time train in the slow level versus intense… Key thing when training to listen your body and rest if needed.
Perfection doesn’t come by pushing our bodies, Perfection is not the goal… Strive for progress, it comes with consistency, working on fitness each day and in different forms. Believing in yourself that the ultimate goal will be achievable.
