..trained llike a dog

..what a difference a day can make. i felt super strong yesterday, on my supposed easy run, i just kinda let the legs do what they like, and ended up running 20mins at 5:03pace and felt comfortable...anyway today was not so!

it was supposed to be easy-ish with an 800 that would be pushing a bit
4x200(43/43/39/39)800(2:54)400(80)300(under60)200(under 40)

anyway even before i started running i was feeling kinda weak and floppy(super tired) so the 1km warm up didnt improve much, the 4 strides felt harder than they should and i was starting to get worried(i had woken up with a cough and was super phlegm-y this morning)

200's hit all the times and for the first two there was 200m float recovery-i hate FLOAT recovery, then i got to walk recovery for the last 2, 200s
stu saw how hard i was pushing for 39s(which last week was super easy) and decided to let me do 600m instead-struggled through the first lap,the wind just about killed me and finished in 2:15 and was wheezing at the end of it-and just couldnt get my breath back for a long long time..couldnt breathe
so stu changed the 400 to a 300, and i did it in 66s as he asked me to, then another 300m and it was supposed to be fast-stu said under 60s so i ran 55seconds
then 200 in 37s

i made the session, but as stu said..i trained like an absolute dog...and i have to agree.. i was complete rubbish today
dry needling and pilates tomorrow, so i might skip the run

dont know how i can fit it in..
im meeting student before school and after school, then off to karen(needling) and then off to pilates and then meeting a freind for dinner...yep not much time in there

I'm sure the Monday run was set for 20 minute of easy running, 5:30-6:00 min pace???

All the dogs I know run quite well, it is an odd turn of phrase.

Dry Needling, ughh, they need to come up with a better name for it, have fun there, at least you know I feel your pain on that one.
