One of my favorite activities is to run at night. I mean, when there is litteraly no one in the street, in the woods, wherever you are.
When i was training for my marathon, my main issue was : mental toughness. I was so tricky, tells my mind to top at 5km when i was training, or 'it's enough'.
Then I needed something to push me harder, something that i could not step away.
I started running in the night, with no flashlight, and in hard places. Woods, hood, near abandoned parks. Everything to scare the F*ck out of me.
At first I was running 10 km then at 8 I was stopping. So I tried to implement this little thing, to improve.
When I run I go for 1kilometer, only one. Then I push it again and again, when the 1 kilometer bar was check, i push it to 2, then 3.
Then all this shit went to 27 kilometer. At night. No flashlight. No backup plan. You have to keep your energy in case of emergency.
And regulate your breath.
You don't need to do this in the hood or in the wood like i did. You can do this in the street. But here is the deal. I promise you, if you start your run by saying in your head "I'm gonna only do 1km" And push this till you cant no more i mean really no more. Like your so exhausted you gonna fall. Everything you found overwhelming before will be so easy.
It's a good exercise to train your ability to face unexpected obstacles and events. If you guys do it, tells me what are your results !
