Training to plan
Training is not going well at the moment. There’s a few reasons for this:
- I had a cold last week and am just getting over it.
- I’ve had quite a few lunch time meetings or conference calls.
- I’ve had some long meetings and dinners.
- Getting home late means that I feel less than spritely in the mornings.
Worse than that though, I’m feeling guilty and pressured about things. I have a programme. I want to stick with it. But I can’t because something gets in the way. Or I am too tired. Or whatever. But it’s all adding up. Especially when family stuff is added to it.
So, I’ve been thinking and thinking. The more I think about it, the more I realise I need to get back to enjoying it. If I want to go for a run (rather than a planned turbo session) then I should just go for a run and enjoy it. At the moment, I’d either go for a run and not enjoy it, or do the turbo and wish I was running (or, at the moment, be sitting at my desk wishing I could go for a run or do the turbo).
I can’t see things are going to change for a while either. There’s more family stuff coming up. And I’ve also come up with a great idea at work which I suspect will keep me very, very busy.
So, I think I am going to have to throw the plan in the bin for a while. Train how I want, when I want (or when I can fit it in). It will hit me at Lanza but I’d rather be happy and pretty fast than unhappy and a bit faster.
But I still want to think about it a bit more.
