Shattered!

Anyone else feel they could nap/sleep for an hour after running? I'm on WK4 nearly WK5 and after the initial 'high' I'm so sleepy about two hours after! Then I 'come round' again. Think it may be due to me getting into shape, as I'm certainly not rushed off my feet at the moment, time's my own, mostly... :)

I've been feeling that way after my last few runs (week 7). I think it's the weather, as I didn't feel like this earlier on c25k, even on my toughest runs.

Yep I think it is the weather, we're used to cooler climes! I can't relax most of the time, can relate to 'Oldgirl' like to be doing something, that's why I love running and can not (I've tried) do yoga! ;) Bbbbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I fall a sleep in the evenings easier than before on the couch in the middle of a tv program, although my OH would say they had seen no difference ;-) as I can sleep anywhere!
