Hi there,
Am a keen and experienced runner with well over 100 runs under my belt since I started running seriously around January/Febuary time. But lately, especially after having a week of from running due to bad weather conditions (heavy snow and ice), I have only done two runs since and I can't do over 2KM. I usually do it first thing in the morning but today I did a run at 12 aiming for 3K but did 1.3. I'm sick to death of running in my area because it is quite limited and is quite hilly. I'm going to try doing a run first thing tommorow, was aiming for a 6K, maybe a 4K depending on how I'm feeling. Any ideas, I feel tempted to maybe wait for Christmas to blow over and start up again in the new year.

> The longer you leave it the harder it will get. Can you drive or bus somewhere to have a different run or even run one of your regular routes in the opposite direction? joining a club or arranging to meet friends for a run may also help.
I know, but sometimes I think maybe my body needs a rest. Like I said its only my 2nd run since my day off and I usually go in the morning. I prefer to go early in the morning and where I live the buses are so infrequent that many run every 2 hours on a sunday..:-/ lot of places near me don't have paved roads or involve crossing major roundabouts so yeah :-/
Let us know how you get on. It is always harder after Christmas and my knees feel really old starting up again!
Next is 10k in April which I’m hoping to run all of. Got more time to train so going to ask my PT to take me on the 10k route and I’m going to plan when to run and walk as there is no way I could have done another 5k after the 5k last month so I’m thinking run all I can then walk slower to have a rest then back running. On the 5k I was wanting to get best time I could so even the walking wasn’t really a rest.
