Garrett Faragher running

Today was another rough afternoon run. My stomach was feeling off and I could tell as soon as we started moving on the warm up exercises. I just felt pretty out of it and low on energy on the run and around 7 miles it was just trying to hang on and finish. Today honestly felt like a workout mentally wise in terms of staying in the moment. I definitely need to fuel differently because something's not working. 7:29 pace, 161 avg hr. 

Resting HR monday morning: 56 

Morning workout. 2 mile warm up. Stomach was great! It was hills so I was happy for it. As weird as it sounds today was easier than yesterday. I felt less tired after today than I did yesterday. I know it wasn't anything crazy fast but it felt great to hang with all the guys on the team today in a faster effort and it got me excited. Cooled down until I hit 10.

Morning HR: I forgot! 

7:23 pace, today was another tough afternoon run. I start of feeling fine and my stomach starts hurting more as the run goes on and the last few miles get real hard. I am meeting with Natalie (the nutritionist at USU) on Friday so hopefully that will help. 

The first 5 or 6 miles today I actually felt a lot like my normal self. After that it got a little tough again but I think it was a good sign. I tried eating more before the run today and that was a  good move. 

Workout at Mantua. My first mile was a 4:49 and it basically crashed a little after that. Today was honestly pretty discouraging. My summer 10k was a lot better than that and I know I am more fit now than I was then. I just feel like there are a few things that are off and I haven't fully felt like myself lately. The meeting with Natalie was good today and I learned some things from that that should help. 

7:10 pace. My legs were tired but they could still open up. Today my stomach felt a little off again but nothing big because it was in the morning.
