I'm a subscriber of Runner's World - it's a magazine about running (obviously). According to them, it's typical to feel like you're tired or sick or hurt before going out for a run. I'm planning to head out for a run in about 20 minutes and I'm all of a sudden very sleepy and tired. Now I'm thinking of skipping this run, and just run tomorrow.

Does anyone feel this way before a run? What do you do to fight it/get pass it?

Today I felt tired because it was so hot. I just fight it as much as I can because I'm running with a group. But being so tired feeling, plus my knee was killing me, I ended up running and being in 2nd to last place in the pack. Not very good, but at least I was out there.

In the end - that's all that matters: you had the guts to go out there and run through the wall. Mad props to ya!

I wish I have someone to run with. I'm not too fast, I just need someone to help get me off my butt when I don't feel like running.

Thanks.Cheers!

I feel happy when I feel hot, I started to like the feeling of sweating after I started running.

I don't have this feeling, but I think the most possible reason that I don't feel tired before going out for a run is I don't run for so long. I started to run early this year, and quited. I started to run again 1 month ago, and I think I will keep this running habit, I plan to run everyday, and I ran in past two weeks, I ran around 30 minutes per day and I felt very well after a run. So I normally feel extremely happy before a run, as I expect I will have the good feeling after a run, that's why I don't feel sick or what before going out a run.

I think it is typical if we are debating about whether we want to do something or not to feel this way. This scenario could be used for a number of situations, in addition to running.

I know sometimes I feel this way when I am getting ready to go out with a bunch of friends. And then I force myself to go, or my boyfriend talks me into it. And we always end up having a very good time. So, I have tried to not think this way. It is just a pessimistic feeling I think.

Then again, sometimes our gut feelings are something that we need to listen to. So, it is good to distinguish between the two.

I hope you went and enjoyed your run!

I love running but even with my love for running - my brain deceives me sometimes. Especially now that I run at the gym instead of outdoors. UGH! I hate running on the 'mill. It's the most boring thing. But I have no choice - it's too cold outside and I get sick too easily. Oh well. I love running more than I hate running on the 'mill. Thanks for the response!

Well lately I have doing some on the spot running before I go to bed in order to cut down on the ever increasing mid section I have.I have been doing so for about three weeks now however the last couple of nights I have noticed that I feel extremely tired .I will also admit that I succumbed and just went to sleep


myLot reputation of 86/100. khayshenz (1093)   ranked 35 out of 82 in running  1 week ago

"On the spot running" huh? Well, try going out for just 30 minutes. Just do a run walk. Do it for two weeks - then let me know if that's helping any. I can almost guarantee that it'll help not just losing the mid-section, but with the energy level. Good luck and thanks for the response!=)
