Is it normal to have a few off practices/ days during xc?

Question

For some reason, some days I will feel really good when I am running and I feel like I can go on forever. Other days, I feel dead and exhausted and cannot run as well as I can. Am I not trying hard enough or is this normall?

Answer 1

Of course this is normal!  nobody can be 100% all the time.  Certain days or types of workouts are better than others.  

It may depend on sleep, nutrition, or hydration, so try to keep those factors out of the question by being aware and taking care of them.

hope it helps!
