Hi Hiker,
Thank you very much for the kind words and for sharing your story, very inspiring!
What you had to do despite the poor sleep is much more important (helping kids) than what I have to do (training and competing, which is just for myself), so I find it inspiring that you pulled through and manage to deliver on your duties, well done!
It is getting a bit better already, as you say, I am not a quitter, and I have dealt with it by saying “okay even if I got 4-5 hours of bad quality sleep, I will go for a run anyway tomorrow morning, I will go slower and for a shorter distance and then take it from there” and by committing to it everyday, it is slowly slowly improving. The goal is to gain increments every day and then get back to pre-crisis levels.
You are very right in saying that it is key to not let a setback become a catastrophe, as the brain is a master at that (“all the gains made in the past months are gone, just like that, what have you done!”).
So thank you again for your message, it helped a lot 🙂
