Today just sucked. That's really all I can say.
I was already tired going into the workout but I can usually get going and push through a speed workout fine. Not today. I ran usual 2.5 warm up. Then our workout was 8 sets of 2 lappers on the indoor track. Pace- 60 a lap, 2:00 and a lap walk/jog recovery between sets. It sounded fast and felt fast too. The first one, my legs were dead weights and I couldn't snap out of it. I couldn't push myself into a steady pace/rhythm. I ran 2:03, 2:03, and 2:05 then sat one out. I tried another one and ran 2:05 then was told I was done. I was so frustrated. Today felt like the hardest day I have had since running here and honestly I wanted to cry (but I swore to myself months ago no more crying in running- unless it's happy tears) I hate not being able to finish a workout. I hate having to quit early. I hate when mentally and physically I can't handle it. It leaves the worst feeling. I finished running laps to be at 8 miles then after weights ran another 4 on a treadmill. I am exhausted. And want a better workout. |
