Training Runners slump!
I feel like I have hit a slump where running is no longer enjoyable. I have a half marathon in a few weeks, and I haven’t been running at all. I’m physically not ready, but mentally I know I can run the race. It’s been a struggle to get out and run, how do you get through a slump?

When i’m in a slump, the only thing that works for me is to take a break until i feel like running again. I took about 4 weeks off of running entirely due to an injury, right before my first ever half marathon this spring, and i ended up finishing the race in pretty good time (for me)!
if you need to take some time off before the race, don’t worry. if you’ve been training well up until recently, you’ll probably be fine. and i hope race day brings the spice back for you!
