Do you ever feel 'flat'

[NightRunner]

Morning all


I go running ~4times a week. Last year I was up to about 25ish miles a week however this plummeted due to me being ill for Q1 this year.

I'm now building back up by doing a couple of miles 4 times a week. Sometimes I do more as I feel great and can do double/triple that.

However I went running last night and it was a real pain in the arse, like I was running through treacle.

Does anyone have this? Is there anyway to minimise it?

Thanks

Eat well, drink well, sleep well. I'd look at those aspects of your life first.

Someone will be along shortly to advise going to your doctor for some anti-depressants.

Ha ha, then they can just fk off

Some of you may have seen my diet thread. At the moment I am on a massive health kick.

In four days I have been for 3 runs. These are the first three runs of my running career- I have never really run before, and so i'm nowhere near as experienced as the OP.

However after two great runs which increased in pace and distance, today was awful. After just 2km I had got a stitch (I normally run before breakfast, so that cant be down to food or drink), and I just felt like crap after around 500 meters. Managed to push through to 5km, but I guess sometimes you're really up for it, and sometimes you're not.

Not seen it, but I'll have a read. I can never run in the morning, just not my thing.

I usually go out in the evening, just feels 'nicer' if you get me.
