We have to remember that getting a PR doesn’t happen every race, even if we train in the best way possible. The more we race, the more difficult it can be to achieve a faster goal time, which is part of the journey. It doesn’t matter if we’re not at an elite level, not hitting a goal can still sting!

During my training I kept reminding myself that not all runs would feel good. Bad runs make the good runs feel even better became one of my mantras. If all runs in your training are feeling good or relatively easy, you might not be pushing yourself hard enough!

It’s good to remember that not hitting a workout can still mean you’re on track for your end goal! (Even though it can still sting!)
