Anyone have summer time motivation? No one wants to run in my area so it's just me running miles alone on a gravel road. I've been using my shadow to keep me going.

Drive somewhere to run...some trails, a park, a different side of town...wherever. This works for me because it makes the run feel event. Since I had to put in effort to drive there, I'm much more likely to do a full solid run...instead of trying to convince myself that 45 minutes is the same as 65 minutes- which often times happens when I run alone from home. |

It is a rare situation indeed that doesn't have some upside to it, training solo should give you some time to be alone with your thoughts. While you're out there mulling things over, ask yourself some questions like: |

Training on your own can sometimes be really daunting. I have found that the time of day that I run, affects how motivated I am. When I'm not planning to run with someone else in the evening after work, I set my alarm early like 6 or 6:30 a.m. I do this for two reasons. One, when you're running that early, you feel like your sacrificing something and not on the level of a recreational runner, out for a casual jog on a sunny day. Two, it's motivating to know that you're out on the roads putting in the miles while your competitors are probably still fast asleep. So my answer to your question, is try getting your run in in the early morning. It makes you feel like a pro. Hope this helps, |
