Running in 2024

I have been finding running hard for a while now - you wouldn’t think that looking at the numbers. My pace has never been better, and averages to less than 6 minutes per km; I run between 5-8 km a couple of times a week; I am happy with V’s pronouncement that I breathe well during my run, including recovering very quickly, and breathing using my nose as I should. But the joy is missing. I run because I tell myself I have always run and I should. I run around 50 km a month now, but it’s like I remember every step of the run.
