This routine was tough when I started it a few years ago. But eventually you get acclimated and it’s easy peasy. But you build up to it I imagine that things will become daunting again when I ramp up to new distances, but for now I’ve been doing this for so long it’s just part of my life. I even look forward to long runs. And on days when I don’t feel like running, which is rare, it’s never a struggle to just go out anyway.
It’s a good sign if you’re enjoying it already. I love how I can take it everywhere I go. I used to only do gym work, but being outside and discovering new terrain is just so much better.
That’s what I do as well. Even if I have to go light, I still make sure to at least go through the motions if I’m feeling lazy or uninterested. I’m trying to build the habit.
I used to be big on the gym as well. I think you’re right about how much better it is to be outside and see new terrain. A couple days ago I did a run early in the morning and got to see part of the meteor shower. You can’t get that in a gym.
