RUT (noun): a pattern of behavior that has become dull and unproductive but is hard to change. Over the last 4-5 days, I found myself in the middle of a R-U-T. I was eating poorly, sleeping worse, and my motivation to run hit an all-time low--not exactly ideal when the biggest race of your season is less than 2 weeks away! As perfect as our Strava logs and race results may appear at ties, it ain't always peaches and gravy (Is that the right expression? I'm a bit removed from my Southern heritage...). This wasn't my first experience finding myself in a dark patch and it certainly won't be the last, so I wanted to compile my thoughts about what caused this lapse in focus and what I can do moving forward to handle such situations more gracefully. I imagine I'm not the only one out there who has experienced these symptoms, so I hope this helps you too! (and I'd love to hear what's worked for you!)
