Struggling!

2011/05/20 at 15:49PM by Steve

Had my second race on Wednesday night, all a bit of a rush job to get there in time for the race. Ran ok timewise but got comfortably beaten by two strong athletes so was disappointed. 6.10 for the 2km chase, not what I wanted with the UK Inter-Counties in 10 days time.

Tried a track session last night as I haven't done much training this week, 3 sets of 800m strong, 200m jog, 200m hard then 200m walk recovery between sets. Clocked 2.16m and 31.1 seconds, then 2.16m and 30.6s. Really struggled on the next 800m, ending up with 2.21 after a shocking second lap. Decided to call it quits there as I felt terrible and didn't think carrying on would be beneficial.

Woke up this morning with a sore throat and have been struggling all day with lethargy, so will take a couple of days off running and go again next week.
