Why is hard to run somedays and other days its not?

Question

i just don't get it. somedays i can run 6 miles or more with no problem at all, but other days i struggle just to do 2 miles at the same pace.

i am very consistent with my diet and i do take a rest day once a week, so i don't see what the problem is.

any tips on how to get my running more consistent?

Answer 1

Make sure you are always hydrated.

get enough and consistent amount of sleep

then you should get consistent resuslts.

maybe the weather can come into play as well

Answer 2

i've noticed i can run very well after a period of inactivity & that it is difficult to run the day after a very strenuous run. the way i try to regulate the difficulty & ease of my runs is to take every other day off... or, if i had a particularly hard run one day i will take of two days after that. i think it helps your muscles relax or something, but as that is not my area of expertise i can only guess. i'm not sure if you're training right now & can afford to lose time like that but if so, i would suggest 2 or even 3 days a week... just to make it easier.

oh & one more thing make sure you are hydrated! lol you've heard this before, i'm sure but it's very important.

Answer 3

Things you eat...how much water you drink...did you get enough sleep??

these r cruicial...:D
