Today for the first time in my life I dropped out of a race. My legs were dead, I’m running worse than last year and I wanna know what to do. I was not even in pain when I dropped out I just could not run faster at all. My plan is to take 2 days off and ice bath twice this week to see how I feel next Saturday, any ideas?
I quit a race when I was 14. When I was asked why, as they thought I was injured, I said I'd had enough. The looks I got as tehy turned away was enough for me to never quit again.
Even when you are feeling shitty in a training session or race, you can always find something to focus on, when something else is failing.
Put your man pants on and make sure you are doing it right. If you're getting slower and feeling shitty, go see a dr.
If you are feeling mentally weak, then suck it up, or stay at home. Maybe you are not cut out for competition
