I'm back from yet another shitty run where I couldn't run for more than 15 mins without stopping to walk. I finished C25K in April and in May I was running 4.5 miles no problem and was close to doing 5k in under 30 mins. And then in June, I tanked. I don't understand what happened. I'm not injured, I didn't get out as often as I would like but I was still managing twice a week at least. My fitness level just completely disappeared and I started hating it because I was really struggling to do what I could do easily before.
I'm meant to be doing a 5 mile race this weekend but I can't even manage 2 miles. Plus it's going to be roasting on Sunday and I hate the heat. Everyone just keeps saying I'll be fine but I really don't want to go.
But most of all I'm pissed off that something I used to look forward to has become something I dread. I used to have all these goals but now I don't see the point.
This has gone beyond missing mojo, I'm just bloody miserable now. Can anyone help?
