Middle Pack

If its good enough for Scott Jurek then its good enough for me!

Recently I read that Scott Jurek takes off a good month and a half each year to rest and relax before taking on the next season. Now this has taken my mind off my injury and my running season. For many days I was thinking about is my foot good enough for running again? Should I try it? Am I losing speed? Will I be fit enough for my race goals for the year? What will happen when I start running again?

I am a bit more relaxed about things now. I have done a similar thing to Scott Jurek, albeit a forced lay off. I have managed to get a few more times out with mates,  enjoying my biking again and looking at getting more involved with that. I have also spent more time just chilling. I am still exercising but it is less serious.

I am re-assessing some of my seasons goals but not so bothered about it now. I don’t feel like I am ready for coming back to hard running training yet and I am now thinking middle of Feb I may start running again? I may not though as I will hopefully have a new bike. Who knows? Just good to know that even some of the best take a good chunk of time off.
