What’s up letsrun.
I had an awful workout today. I wanna know why.
Here’s the info:
My workout today was supposed to be 400-800-1600-800-400 looking to hold 4:40-4:50 pace for the entire workout. I got full rest after each rep and have recently ran a 4:23 1600m along with a 9:31 3200m, so it should have been a hard but very doable workout.
My first 400m felt absolutely fine. Nailed it in 1:10 which was goal pace. 800 is where the problems started. I hit a 2:26 which was over goal pace but still satisfactory, but the odd thing is that I felt like I was tying up the last 100m, and felt very tired, in an almost sleepy way for the rest of the workout. I ran 5:06 for the mile, 2:34 for the 800, and 1:12 for the 400.
I felt very sleepy and almost sick to my stomach, which I’ve never felt during a workout before. All things considered, I very much should have been able to hit this workout without a problem. I’ve done harder workouts with less rest at faster paces than this.
Weather was 76 degrees and wind was 15 mph today. Would that be enough to throw me off? Does that “sleepy” feeling signify that something might be wrong?
I’m very confused
