Someone once told me that – no matter how bad you feel – you should never give up on a run until you've gone at least 2 miles or 15 minutes. For me, this has been one of the best pieces of advice I've been given about running.
I don't know how many times I've drug myself out of the house and started to run; feeling haggard and sore and thinking I needed to take a day off. However, nearly every time I've "found my groove" by the second mile. In fact, some of my best runs have come after heading out the door feeling like crud.
It seems the same way with swimming and cycling. In the past two weeks I've had workouts in which I wanted to pack it in after 10 minutes of agony. Yet I've stuck with it, worked through it and ended up completing the workout without being in too much pain.
