I was going to do a 6-8 mile tempo run in the middle of my 18-20 miler today except after the first mile at a measly 5:40 I could not go any longer. I'm not sick per se, but I have been battling a croop. Today, it went to my chest and i had maybe 2/3 lung capacity which severely limits pushing any kind of decent pace. So I ran 6:45s just like a normal run. I took some inhaler but it didn't help much. |
