Motivation for Aimless Running - Training Plans With No Races
Jonah Rosenberg A few weeks ago, one of the runners I coach reached out. She felt discouraged. Her running was unstructured, inconsistent, and, she felt, pointless. She genuinely loves running; she just felt stuck. Like most of us, she’s had no races to train for. I estimate 99 percent of the runners I coach only follow a training plan if there’s a race at the end of it. In the Before COVID Times, this was fine. They’d train, race, and recover—then repeat. But it’s been a year without most major running events, so I imagine you have also felt similarly discouraged.
