Don’t know why I chose such a hilly route. Legs heavy and tired from the start. Almost fell over running down Old Road Rd, no idea how I stayed upright!! Legs not used to speed work, which is why they feel like they do, but that should improve with consistency right? I’d rather not do the Rye 10. I’ve run it twice and hated it both times. Too hilly and too hot. Got sun stroke the second time I ran it. My body doesn’t like the heat, it’s a migraine trigger and I get heat/sun stroke easily.
No worries about next Sunday and yes the body will definitely get more used to speed work as you do it more consistently. So in time that should make the recovery quicker. I think you’re in a similar boat to me probably, albeit a bit further ahead where the aerobic fitness is good but due to limited miles our legs are not as conditioned for running as we would like, but in time all being well we can introduce a few more miles to change that. Do you wear caps and sunglasses in the heat? Very important to gear up properly and that may help. Great day of fitness though Lou. Enjoy your rest day tomorrow.
