It was a hilly cc race that was not on an easy course what so ever .Still i felt i could have done better.I done workouts and all other running need.My legs felt fine i just felt like i was jogging.Can someone tell me why it takes 2-3 races to get back?
It takes a few posts to work out the grammar as well.
ok fag
well jogging usually feels slow..
Let me guess, OP: You also recovered almost immediately after you crossed the finish line, right? The fact is, you have to be highly *specifically* trained to get all your energy used up in a single race.
You need races, or at least sustained efforts that approach a racelike intensity, say 15-20min high-tempo runs, to get to that point. Jack Daniels's cruise intervals (e.g. 5mins running alternated with 1min recovery) also help with this.
This is where Lydiard's so-called "time trials"--strong, but not all-out, runs over the race distance--were helpful for his athletes, who sometimes lacked the opportunity to get actual races in before an important meet.
But don't worry too much, in any case. As you say, with 2-3 races you'll be back.
It doesn't there is something wrong with you.
Body needs to get used to race intensity efforts. First race or two will be "rust busters" that get you ready to run fast later.
Are you 14 years old or are you really ignorant and stupid?

Apparently it also takes time to get those snappy retorts up to speed.
