Working on my aerobic base after reading Endurance Training book and seeking the advice of great friends (Kim especially).  I am overtrained and very burnt out so I am cutting back on pace and mileage and trying to heal.  With working nights I am becoming way overtrained as I try to squeeze in my workouts without much sleep and my body is completely rebelling.  The fatigue is intense and my allergies have greatly worsened sooooo I have decided to try the heartrate function test and not overdo it there and use my races for anaerobic training.  Something's gotta give and since running is not much fun right now I am taking a yoga moment and reevaluating my abilities right now.  I still hope to PR at SGM and according to this book I can and with much less training.  Sasha told me to work on my aerobic base and I didn't quite understand it until Kim gave me this book to read.  It is sooooo me and I need to watch myself so I am.  I still plan on racing Hobble Creek and doing my long runs (substantially slower if that is what my heartrate dictates on the day I run them).  I am soooo looking forward to running healthier and getting stronger.  When I no longer work nights my body will be better at recovery.  Someday soon I will be parttime.  Crossing fingers : D    Ran  easy 3.8 at 9:36 pace, maximum aerobic function.  See how badly my heart has been crying out?  As the fatigue lessons this will improve.  Sleep is the big factor.

way to be smart and listen to what your body is telling you. funny how sometimes it has to scream to get us to stop. you are taking a good approach to deal with it, and you'll overcome the fatigue in no time... i think the heat has a lot to do with it. fall is just around the corner. :)

Ah yess the heat is a big factor. However did I survive living in New Hampshire? No central air (just the in window kind) and sticky heat. When I moved to Utah to go to BYU when I was 18, I couldn't believe how lovely the weather was. Despite the smokey, hot Augusts, I can depend on the mountain crisp air to refresh me in a few short weeks. If not I can drive there in no time. AF canyon is calling my name. PS I am feeling a bit better today, two good nights sleep and cooler air, unfortunately smokey cool air. It is moving out though I think : D
