SPORTS GROUND
PASSION FRUIT PAPAYA-POWER SMOOTHIE efficiently I run. But of course there are days when neither my head nor my legs comply as well as I would like them to. I had to learn not to ask too much of myself and to adjust my daily targets if necessary. But I have now learned to accept that some days I can’t ask as much of myself. It’s good sense, therefore, to chose a run with multiple laps which can be added to or subtracted from as needed rather than picking a long round trip from/to your house. After all, it’s better to go for a short run than to skip it completely. Continuity is silver, fun is golden! Most times you simply have to get on with it. Don’t overanalyse it all. Think of being able to do your workout as a gift instead of a chore. The occasional slight lack of motivation can be overcome by good planning: lay out your running clothes the night before and/or take your sports bag to the office in the morning. And of course there’s always the gear itself and the prospect of a nice dinner or fascinating evening entertainment afterwards. It’s all about finding the right the incentive!
