Sometimes my legs are absolutely fine, but my head has other ideas. 🙄

I’ve lost count of the number of runs where I’ve had a full-blown argument with myself. One minute I’m telling myself I can do it, the next I’m questioning why I even bothered going out!

And sometimes it’s got nothing to do with running. It’s everything else going on in life that comes along for the miles.

But that’s also why I run. It gives me a chance to clear my head, work through things, or just switch off for a while.

Anyone else find that sometimes their head is harder work than their legs? ❤️

Absolutely 🔥🔥🔥 I’ve been training my mind this year, a lot! Even more difficult to get your mind right if you’ve been injured from running!
