I came back from my morning run a few hours ago and I feel extraordinarily wiped out by it.
I stuck it out to the end, but then I had to lie on a nearby bench for about 10 minutes, totally unlike me.
When I went home, thinking I would have the energy to go about my day, and I'm just as tired!
What could be the problem?
Had you drunk enough before you went as it could be that you have a touch of heat exhaustion
Did you eat?
It was outrageously hot out there this morning so not surprising that you flagged. Even in the shade it was too hot
Too hot to run unless you regularly run in the heat. Here in Spain people run anytime of day.....but they are acclimatised to hotter runs.
Hydrate well before and during every run in real heat. Look for shade if you really need to run, early morning is good.
Take care everyone!
I must admit, I didn't eat anything, neither did I drink any water. I don't normally. That might have been the problem.
The combination of heat and no fluids is bad 
Also I know that you may not feel like eating in the morning but last week I "had to" swim in the morning rather than later, didn't eat, and felt very like that (normally can swim much further than I did too).
Bananas are good and also for revival after.
I hate bananas.
Lol. That's a shame, there must be something similar but cant think what at the moment.
Heat and not hydrated...it was warm at 6.30...! I was only doing a short run and took water.. and drank it and poured it over my head and neck!
I poured it down by front too - down my back may have been in error as had wet patch in an embarrassing place on my shorts!
Lesson Learned - Never Run After Piggin' Out
Hooray - I'm back running after 6 weeks!
Wiped out by shin splints
My first cold and frosty morning run :)
Day 1 complete and it has wiped me out! Is this normal?
