This session felt absolutely dreadfully hard!
Excuses : the heat - terrible coming off the bitumen and cement; breeze cut off by surrounding buildings and trees; legs lactic for last two repeats - this is so painful! -.....finished ready to collapse; sweat dripping to the ground!
I sat in the shade for quite some time trying to get my breath and cool down before driving the short distance home. Not sure what I achieved at this workout. At least I finished it and didn't think I would after just the first two repeats. No cool-down jog; a few stretches and that was it. Can't remember feeling so drained.
6km total
Heat is an excellent excuse. We are having stinking hot weather currently too and it's so much harder to run at any speed in the soaring temps. Take care and make sure you hydrate heaps. Running in intense heat certainly takes it out of you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, Strewth, and acknowledging my excuse for a bad day!
