Meltdown run. This attempt to run quickly was a major failure, and there could have been a few reasons for it.The graph shows I started of for the first quarter of a mile at over 7mph. My chest felt really heavy and I was struggling, so decided to drop back to recover. It was cold when I started running, but then the rain moved in and it got even colder. Breathing got even harder. The cold air was triggering my asthma. I struggled on and completed one loop, but that was it, I had to stop. 0.93 miles in 8 mins 33.51seconds.
So why had it failed so badly. I hadn't eaten, so perhaps it was lack of fuel. Possible, but shouldn't have been as it was just a 2 miler. I'd started off much quicker than even I normally do, so perhaps I over strained my lungs. I hadn't warmed up either. Then the freezing rain moved in and finished me off.
I had hoped to try again in the evening, but still don't feel up to it, so that's it for the day. Learn the lessons from the failure, and try again another day.
