Exercising should be fun and rewarding, leaving you feeling revitalised and full of energy! If you don’t like an activity then don’t do it, life is too short to push yourself through punishing workouts!
Whilst I believe that to see a result you do need to set a goal and have a structured, challenging plan to get you towards achieving success, I also believe that training needs to be intuitive and you need to listen to your body. If one day you feel like walking instead of running, perfect, go with that. If you wake up tired one day and want a rest day, even better – this is your body telling you that progress is happening and it needs recovery to repair and grow!
