True, the flow can only be archived when relaxed, but letting go of the control can be a challenge haha.

Was a good week running wise, approaching 5k with an ease and no challenge in the mind was indeed very helpful and yeah, it's one minute more than pb, but also it was 10points more relaxing, with a feeling and understanding that it's a training run, not race one.
Developed a niggle, where the right leg just suddenly feels numb and weak for a moment while running, then it passes, but the feeling of fatigue in the leg remains. Also dorsflexion feels off.
I've been doing more strength work on the legs, so my first thought was tight gluteal muscles, stretched properly after run and it felt instantly better. Now calv is tight, continue stretching and maybe yoga will help.
Wishing you an amazing Monday,
Cheers,
Stacy.
