For me the key is to be motivated by regularity > volume > speed, instead of being motivated by speed > volume > regularity. Speed injures me, volume a bit less so and regular running with 80% easy runs makes me a strong runner. I just needed to switch my motivation, get it away from speed, and it changed my life as a runner 100%. Be motivated by running 6 or even 7 times a week. Run a bit less, much slower. That's the way for me.
I'm just coming off of a year+ of almost constant shin/ankle/plantar tendon injuries, which I've never had trouble with before, but I think I've finally got it sorted. Are you following any kind o strength&conditioning? Because I'd start there, but also look into your diet maybe too. Like I think I've found some allergies and a couple of other surprisng things that were holding me back. Probably the most surprising is, I was using a metal filter for my coffee instead of a paper filter, and there's a lot of stuff that the metal filter misses, namely oils that cause higher cholesterol. You're welcome to join my low motivation group! I haven't quite gotten it organized yet though...
I joined an 10km event 1 year ago, and then 21 km on April, and then completed a 42km marathon on November. I have platin inside my foot cause it was broken 3y ago. After 42km marathon, I felt different. This is why I watch a lot of running videos for one month :-). My motivations are: 1. Before I brake my foot again, I wanted to finish a marathon. 2. Because I register running events, it forces me to go outside and run. Registering running events are important for me. Also make research about "runner's high". :-)
That dog can't keep up! Back to zone 1 my friend, zone 1 lol.
@@souslesbombes haha, she is selective and keeps up when she wants to
Hi Paul, thanks for the insight! Can I ask, did you lose Messie after a couple of minutes, she seems to have just sat down and disappeared? :)
@@heighRick noooo, she does her own thing on our runs and just checks in on me every now and then.

@@souslesbombes great approach.
