The dog days of summer can make it difficult to get the motivation to get out for a run. This could be the result of a training slump. Training slumps, we’ve all had them. Sometimes it’s just hard to get up and go for a run. Sometimes we have a small nagging injury that might not prevent us from physically running a race but mentally keeps us on the couch. And then sometime, we are not in the right headpsace to go out for a run-personal and work commitments keep us busy and preoccupied.

When I find myself in a training slump, I try to find people who I can do my runs with. It’s a lot easier for me to get motivated to get out and go for a run if I have someone to hold me accountable to get out there. As soon as I see a familiar face, my mood is better, and I think about more than just the run that we are about to take. Sometimes, it’s the little things that I need to help me out of my slump.

If you are stuck in that slump, be sure to read the article below and see if there is something there that will resonate with you. And tell us, how do you get yourself out of a running slump.
