Morning, until 4 months ago I used to train at least three times a week. Running (9 km) and HITT.
I'm 50, and I began to feel a lack of motivation toward both running and training. Then I've injured my shoulder, there's an hole on my tendon, thus I should use the elastic fitness band, but I don't.
I became ~~flaccid ~~and I don't like my body, I'm still skinny, but I've lost all my muscles, I have to start from zero again (sore muscles, lactic acidosis and all that). And here comes the reason why I am posting here. I need a sponosr or someone who gives me some motivation and advice to begain all over again.
Right now I feel sadly at ease (depressed but I don't kind of care, but I care at the same time, difficult to explain) with my body loosing shape, strength and agility. I also note that in the last month I've catched on of the most virulent bronchitis ever; I tend to think this is one of the fallout of my interrupting physical activity.
Does someone want to help and old man with advice and motivation?
(I'm Italian, thus forgive me English)
Sounds like you need some recovery work. It's annoying and tedious I know, but if you need it you need it.
Sounds like you need to find something that you enjoy that moves you through a range of motion. There's a reason why people say so what you enjoy. Buy I will say, I think that much running can be tough on your body. If you really need to scratch that itch, maybe try sprints. But definitely try sometime else too.
