Ran Monday absolute breeze for my 5k- weight trained & functional fitness last night, run this morning was dire !

Couldn’t get breathing right & even had to stop twice ! Oh well let’s hope Fridays run goes better

If your experience was anything like mine today, it was far too warm and humid to do a long run. I overdressed and overheated.

100% couldn’t believe how warm it was and i just couldn’t get my breathing or my mind on track ! Here’s my Myzone record of my run

Maybe you needed some recovery time from your session last night.

Everything going on in our lives can impact on our performance as a runner. Restedness, hydration and nutrition are at the top of my list of variables that need to be optimised to enable enjoyable running.

Well, you may not have enjoyed it, but you went for a run! A few of us had odd runs today, maybe it was wild, warm and windy where you were? I was sliding around in mud for a lot of my route today.The next run will probably feel better

Hi Lestriesherbest ..some runs are just like that & there’s not always a reasonable explanation for why this can happen…maybe you might’ve needed just a little bit more rest after the other things you’d been doing, it could be that or a mixture of things…but you went for a run & even those kind of runs are better than no run at all 😉
