Staying Motivated Through Setbacks

If you love running, you don't need help staying motivated most of the time. But what about during an extended period of failure and discouragement?

This past winter was my best season ever - I set PRs all over the place. Training was amazingly fun. I almost always felt good and I was fiercely motivated, so the whole thing seemed effortless.

The last few months, training has been horrible. I won't go into too much detail about this - the important points are that my legs constantly feel weak and unresponsive, and there is no clear end in sight because I don't know what's causing it.
