Tried to do one of them tempo run things today innit.
Followed my original 5k training route from when I first started marathon training, which is basically a fairly boring, fairly flat route around Hove, with a few shallow inclines thrown in.
Every time I run at the moment I feel pretty nauseous. It's the side effects from the medication I'm taking so I understand why, but even so, it's pretty unpleasant. It comes in waves and just as it gets to the point where I'm certain I'll have to stop and throw up, it seems to pass. Lovely.
I feel like I'm going so slowly when I run outside at the moment. It feels like I'm going miles slower than on the treadmill. Yet my hr is much, much higher. Today it hovered around the 180 mark for most of the run but at one point it reached 191 and I had to stop and walk for about 45 seconds which I was pissed off about. But I did feel like my head was spinning so it seemed the sensible thing to do. I ate some porridge beforehand so there wasn't really any reason for the lack of energy, but I felt so feeble.
However, when I got home I checked out the stats and I ran 3.191 miles in 33:41 which is faster than I normally do it in. Can't understand why it felt so slow. That's about a 10:33 pace. Couldn't possibly imagine doing twice that though. It's funny - it seems that whatever distance you're training for, it seems like a bloody long way whether it's 26 miles or 6.
