I love that feeling. I used to run for hours and hours. It was like meditation while moving. I'd get up very early in the morning, so that I wouldn't be missed by my family, and I'd run until I was overcome by guilt because I'd been gone so long. I'd often get a feeling of just floating along; it was almost like a hallucination. I miss that and I'm hoping to get back into distance running again soon.
What an amazing feeling it is! Loved it.
Then obviously, the next day when I went out it was like drudgery and my legs felt like lead. I could barely put one foot in front of the other. So funny how it's like that.
Anyway, I'm learning to just get on and do it when it feels rubbish, and also to try and totally go with the flow when it feels good and maybe run for longer.
I still can't run very far, but I reckon that it's just down to confidence and self belief. I still feel like I have a ton of mental blocks about it. That feels like the hardest part of it (so far anyway).
