Had a really rough run today. Starting up the hill by glutes were really tight and tired. I could barely run uphill at all the whole run. The whole time I felt like I wasn't getting as much oxygen as normal. I stopped twice in the last two miles because of side aches and just not feeling good. My legs felt super heavy those last couple of miles as well and I felt like I was slogging. I ended up averaging 6:21s for 6.3 miles, and the only thing that makes sense to me is that my diet hasn't been very good the last day or so and that my body may have been lacking the energy and nutrients it needed to function properly. I did a few strides afterwards, but I didn't ever feel super fast because my legs were so heavy.
