Tiredness

[MissChampers]

Does anyone have days where they feel on top of the world and they feel like they can run forever then another day you feel like you can't manage a mile? I did a 100 minute run on Sunday had a rest day yesterday and today I was supposed to do a 60 min easy run but I felt so shattered I could only manage 45 mins.

This is what was happening to me last year. Turned out to be viral, and took months to shift. But I'm sure there are less dramatic explanations; e.g. a night on the grog... dare I say especially the champers. You did mention on another thread having been in the pub all afternoon?!

Losing a cricket match can have a similarly debilitating effect.

The fact that you managed 45 minutes after a day on the piss tends to suggest you don't have too much to worry about!

It's common to feel that way the day after a long run, less so after a rest day. Apart from 'a night on the grog', the usual explanations for me are lack of sleep or eating badly. After a cornish pastie and chips for lunch and a few bars of chocolate through the afternoon, I rarely feel like a good run in the evening....

More seriously, yes, it does happen Miss C. Just one of those inexplicables, though certainly your afternoon in the pub may well have taken a day or two to work its way through the system.
