Thanks for the insight into your winter training. I think this year was actually the first time I did maintenance runs like this and it was really good for me. In the past, I didn't always hit the wall, but there were usually some stupid colds where my body took time out on its own.
I agree, they are worth it. I kind of like them though... permission to really go easy. I listen to audiobooks, practice French, and "lope" along. A nice change from the heavy focus required for a training run. Your three months off experience sounds dreadful! Thank you for sharing.

It’s so important to modulate training! Never fun to hit walls or have your body impose illness just to get some time off 🙄
Sometimes the love for running is too big for wise decisions 😂
