Well, having been conned into entering a half marathon I need to be putting a bit more effort into my morning runs to get my speed up a bit (my main worry about the distance is boredom, so figure I need to get it over faster!) - so, this morning did my regular half hour but threw in some fartlek work (& when I say some, probably 10-15 minutes between warming up & getting a nose bleed, so really not much!), doing a few repeats of running hard until exhausted, returning to a steady run in between.
Have spent the entire day badly craving my duvet! Although I can feel the muscles have had a workout they're not the problem, I'm more head tired than body tired. What's going on & what can I do to manage it? Diet? Take the hard runs down to something equivalent to the running times for a couch to 5k? Stop whingeing, put up with it & hope my body adjusts in time? All suggestions gratefully received
