I often get to a point where my stamina, fitness and speed etc is looking good (for me), then for whatever reason don't run again for a few weeks, not necasserily taking myself back to square one, but certainly not building on the gains I have made.
I don't race, just run for the health/fun aspect!
What d'ya reckon I should do to keep myself going?

Set yourself goals, not for racing but for your enjoyment.
Do other sports as well, swimming biking, kayaking, etc
some people i think can just run and run and still love it and never get bored. I like to do different things so that when it comes to my run i really look forward to it.
Young family means that's impossible.
Thanks for your suggestions all the same!
It does sound like you stop when you reach a "goal" level.- So planning the goal after this one would give you some continuity.
Don't blame the family for not being able to do stuff - lots of peeps on here manage to work round it (although must admit don't have that problem myself, so very easy for me to say!). If you really want to run, you'll find a way.
But if you keep giving up and can't get properly into it for long periods...maybe running isn't the sport for you and you should fine something you can really get into?

To me its fun when I go, but sometimes I just don't want to, or find excuses not too, such as being lazy!
Wouldn't say you are too far out re:not being my sport but as a retired amateur footy player living near ther coast I have good facilities and it is the best way to stay in some sort of shape, I just need that pickmeup every couple of weeks!
In saying that, a good brisk walk with a buggy full of toddler is pretty good exercise too.......
'right thats it for now'
I might have a looksee at a race and see if that spurs me on in my week of need!
cheers
