Today was a "long run day" at Draconia, but I had to stop early. I was assigned 16 steady miles, but after two or three I felt spent, and my legs felt machine gunned. I ended up running ten, but I could honestly go no more. I don't know what is going on, and this condidtion feels like it is slowly getting worse. I felt much better after my knee injury (when I was out of shape), and I could definitely run faster for a much longer period of time. I have overtrained before, but this does not feel like that (and I only did 50 miles last week). This feels like my whole bod fatigues at an insanely fast rate. When I begin the run, I feel ok, but after a mile or two it feels like I hit a massive wall. On repeats (track), I can do the first few, but after that I am useless (I have to go in anaerobic debt. to maitain splits). My iron supplement was taken at the airport (security thing), and I have not taken any since, so I think that may be the root cause. Even before it was taken from me, I took a very small amount, probably not enough to make any big difference. I have not felt "good", or even realtively good for almost two weeks now, so I need to find an answer. I checked the symptoms of anemia (online and through teammates) and it seems to match my symptoms. I am going to get a blood test tommorrow to see what is happening. |
