The heat catches up with me i think!
I went down to Masters last night hoping to see
some benefit from my recent distance running.
Unfortunately it was really not to be. I first
ran a 200m sprint and the legs felt heavy and
only got me a second place. I was beaten by a
top notch runner but i should really have his
measure over 200 (He is a 50k age graded World
Record Holder but does sprint very very well).
Shortly after (and really way too shortly)i ran
or attempted to run a 600m. I got to about 450
and had to pull out. I just hadn't recovered
enough and i'm sure the current heat wave has
sapped me of much of my energy. Anyway i ran
a 5k a bit later and got through it in 30:06
which i can't be too disappointed with considering.
I really must keep to 2 runs on a Wednesday for
a while until my endurance improves. I'm way
behind where i was 18 months ago.
