I’m detrained and can’t seem to get off my arse. It’s probably a bit of depression? Would appreciate some help.
First thing I would suggest is to be kind to yourself and forgive yourself, and then… baby steps. Not only do baby steps eventually compound but they prevent any over training from holding yourself to old expectations.
Same thing happened to me, and I’m still a shit-show (my current cap is about a 3k). The running won’t happen if you don’t make it happen; don’t let your brain win, it’s working against you. Get out there ans show it who’s boss.
Yes somebody put this on a Post-it note and stick it to my mirror, and my face.
Sometimes the act of just putting on my shoes (without giving it much more thought) would get me over that hump. And like others said, baby steps. Start with just around the block or down the street/road and back.
