Todays run was awful. First off running continously for many miles at a hard pace just sucks to begin with. Continous pain for 25 to 50 minutes is just no good. Today attempted to run 6 miles in under 50 minutes. At 5.5 miles I was at 46:10 and said to hell with it. Then I was supposed to do 6 miles of 3/2 intervals and after about a mile my stomach started feeling not so good and I quit. Was attempting to repeat Monday's workout.
But after Monday, I guess thanks to the weightlifting, I got some insomnia that night. Then ate too much T, W, including some junk. Also had a vey salty soup Wednesday night. Probably weighed a few more pounds today. Also the monday run was a step up and probably all on it's own, took a bit out of me.
And anyway, I think continous running is kind of a waste of time. If I ever want to compete in a 5/10k. One 3 mile run 4 days prior will get me ready. So, I'm going back to all intervals. Along with not hurting as bad IMO, I really just think they're what will actually get you faster. Also, probably can do more miles using them. Might just try to 15 miles of 3/2's next Monday.
