If i try to train 'hard' in the morning i'm always caffeinated and fuelled first. Seems like my body clock has just totally shifted to working in the mid-late afternoon rather than any time before i've got two meals inside me.
Problem i've been having though is that a lot of the time i think my head may be failing before my legs, which does make me feel like it's a mental thing. I've not been doing massive miles recently, am just feeling a bit directionless and ticking over. I don't feel totally mashed all the time like i would if i had been overrtarining.
Would be nice to have a little pause and re-set before starting again proper perhaps. i love the 'idea' of training and am not lacking the motivation, i just seem to be losing the fire as soon as training starts, like my head is sick of the battle to push on.
Am gonna try at least 3-4 days off as much to regain a bit of mental steel i think. and it will put a bit of a full stop on the constant dwindling that i am feeling now.
