I have been recapping my Shamrock Marathon training on a weekly basis, but in them I have been more workout-focused and less forthcoming about all my thoughts and feelings during this training cycle (you know, the really important parts of running).
To be honest, I have been pretty down for the last several weeks. I don't know if it's the training itself, SAD, or the current state of the world (probably some combination of all 3), but I've just been feeling drained. I'm tired all the time. I can tell it's the kind of tired that comes with general depression and it just feels...yucky. I have developed a cycle of setting a super early alarm for a morning workout, turning that alarm off and going to sleep for another 2 hours, finally getting up and feeling groggy even though I slept longer than I planned, either making up or totally missing my workout after work, and feeling bad that I just can't get it together.
Since basically this entire year is going to be one giant training cycle, of my goals for the first few months of this year was to use this training period as an experiment to figure out what really works for me, and I feel like I am failing miserably. I've been training for 11.5 weeks and still have no real routine or schedule I can't fiout what I'm doing wrong.
