I have moments where I feel like I'm not improving. I ran four miles today not even close to my pre-test run and I still struggle to do 10 push-ups in a row.
But that's only because I am looking at the numerical improvement. I've improving because I've been consistent. My push-up form is better and I've run more than I've ever done previously. And later this same day, I've gotten further in my pull-up. I know I've gotten stronger, and I just need to keep it moving. The progress will come.
Have I rested enough?
Have I properly replenished with food and water?
Am I practicing in a way that will produce the outcome I want?
These are all questions I should ask myself if I feel fatigue and struggling, but I also have to look at the other aspect where I have improved.
I also took a really long nap today after running.
