Today I had a rest day.... It was a tough old day! Since joining Datchet Dashers I have continuously heard and been told the importance of resting! I completely understand the concept and I've also seen the benefits of resting!
However rest days are a complete mental battle for me. Take today as an example I've felt completely rubbish rather than rested! Firstly It's a struggle for me to get going in the morning,secondly I feel guilty eating,and lastly I find it bizarre I'm not aching! Too much energy and nothing to do! I feel so lazy!
But I'm going to give this 'rest' theory a go! My focus this year is a 4 hour marathon, and rest plays a big game in me achieving this! so I've been told!
I'm hoping I'll have some positive thoughts or results shortly which change my mind about rest days!Until then you may see some more similar posts or tweets moaning! I apologise for these now!Rest is definitely a ugly word in my world!
Happy training!
