You will get it back man. We've all had these lulls. I'm just coming out of one now. I would say don't put pressure on yourself; just focus on crossing the threshold and getting out for short, easy ones but with regularity.Biggest lull in my run career, no mojo, had so many big boozy nights out and loads planned still up to September - used to be fine mixing the two but now struggling. will walk the parkrun today.
As stu says mate, we all have these lulls, consistency is the answer, keep chipping away and it will come back.Biggest lull in my run career, no mojo, had so many big boozy nights out and loads planned still up to September - used to be fine mixing the two but now struggling. will walk the parkrun today.
I went to Peel and realised it was not on due to Uni open day. Quick dash to Worsley Woods.This morning's Alexandra Parkrun "Jeffed" in 32:10.
Far too humid to run the whole distance today, and a big queue at the finish funnel due to the number of participants.
Heaton Park, Peel & South Manchester all cancelled today so lack of overall capacity!
Nice!Super proud of myself, at the age of 40 years old I've just absolutely smashed my 5k time by more than a minute, and to top it off first time ever under the magical 20 minute barrier, 19.39!!! Go me!!!!

knock the booze on the head mate. can still go out enjoy nights out and then smash your PBs!!
I'm eyeing up a year off booze from my 40th - actually getting excited at the thought of getting back and shape and smashing the fitness.
2 and half years off the pop……best decision I’ve ever made …..Whens your 40th? Will send you a reminder ;-)
I'm a few weeks off 6 years no booze. Much prefer it

Mind you it was after over 50 years on the sauce.. ;-)congrats HB on the journey!
I would love to run to work - good on you mate.It's the little wins, and one was had this morning when I ran into work for the first time, just over 6k.
There's no way that I'd have believed I'd have ever done that a few months ago when I started running!
Took all my stuff into the office yesterday so all I had to do today was run in, forgot arguably the most important thing though, a towel!!
You're right, it's such a good way to start the day, and just encourages you to a) have a good day b) make positive choicesI would love to run to work - good on you mate.
Unfortunately, I'm a sweaty bastard so it would be unfair to inflict this on the people around me. I know that some workplaces have showers which is great for encouraging healthy behaviours among staff.
I used to live and work in London. As part of my job, I had free access to the swimming pools in Westminster - and there was one almost next door to my place of work. I would cycle or run about 8 miles from Hackney / Haringey to Westminster then go for a swim & shower before work. I absolutely loved this routine and it was such a positive way to start the day.

Before that I have a mates 40th this Saturday, work summer party next week, stereophonics Finsbury Park Friday after, Oasis gig at London and Manchester, Geneva work trip and other stuff. all will involve to much booze. Impossible to do all this and be on track for running, something will have to give.
