Today I intended to do my Yasso 800s and hit the goal of 10 repeats. Last week was my recovery week so I figured I should be relaxed and ready to go this week. Apparently my legs did not get the message (nor my lungs or heart). The warm up mile went well enough but during the first half mile I could tell that I was off my normal form. My breathing was much more labored and I was digging way too deep for the first half mile. The second half mile went south immediately. I stopped in disgust with myself and regrouped. Going to give it another try again tomorrow.
I am still trying to figure out why my stamina is so low. The primary candidates:
1 - my body is just naturally in a down cycle
2 - significant stress at work
3 - sleeping poorly
I am biased to the first one but is likely a combination of all three. |
