5x50 Day 32

[George42]

32 days, today has been a real low point energy and tiredness wise.

Surprised now I've checked I've done 7k today.

I think I am hitting a wall right now.

How is everyone else coping with the relentless push?

Yeah with you on this one. I normally find a cheeky 15k on the gym bike as my easy day but today I really struggled. Yesterday felt not too tired so ran 5k at lunchtime, but by bed time my legs felt like I had done a marathon. I think the culmination of all our kilometres as well as day to day normal activities of life (work, kids and my case grand kids) is taking its toll. My other half thinks I am mental coz even if really tired and not in the mood of exercise knows I will do at least my 5k for the challenge. Obviously I am going to continue but what I am not doing now is too many k's as I want to enjoy it and not see it as a chore.

I'm really knackered tonight, but it's my own fault.

First I did this tough 7.5km run this morning:

Then the sun was shining wonderfully so I grabbed my camera and set off to photograph the autumn scenes in my local forest. I walked another 8km.

Well done, I wish I had your energy and stamina.

Edit to add: The walk was NOT straight after the run! I'm not that fit I went out to walk 'for 20 mins or so' (aye, right!) in the later afternoon sun.

I am getting tired too which is surprising as its ONLY 5k - but I never just do 5k do I!!!

Don't worry George, the end is in sight, we are well over halfway through now
