Schoolboy Error

Went out for my third run of the week yesterday.

Things started off really well and I felt good. I upped the pace a bit and managed to sustain it. Then bam. Heart rate higher than normal then felt light headed, so I stopped running. I was only a few minutes off completing my run. Walked home as my warm down and recovered quickly enough.

A combination of running too fast and not drinking enough water I think.
