Interval Session Fail - Why Do I Feel So Exhausted??

Did this interval session in the countryside outside Leamington Spa (officially Royal Leamington Spa) on the way to a break in Norfolk. I knew within 10 minutes that it was going to be a tough one. And it was as you'll see...😧

Welcome to our part of the world 👋

Thanks, we’ve been to LS before, no running though, there’s a lovely park there I recall with a Victorian cafe😊

[@raleyadventures]

Well done for getting that session done, can't believe you went all the way to Leamington Spa and didn't come to say hi 🤯🤯

[@AndyCliffMTB]

Thanks, we just didn’t have the time, arrived 6pm Wed and left 10am Thursday with a big drive ahead of me. I did wonder how close we were when I looked at the map on Thursday am😊

[@raleyadventures]

@@AndyCliffMTB No worries 😊😊we are glad you enjoyed the stay, its really nice there, we are only about 10 minutes away from Leamington

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@@raleyadventures In any case, I wouldn’t want to have to rush out first meet-up, we need to get our first joint Parkrun set up😀

[@raleyadventures]

@@AndyCliffMTB Definitely 🔥🔥

Andy, kudos for completing the workout. Our bodies (or is it our minds?) become accustomed to routines, and changing when we do workouts can influence how we feel. You're doing great!

[@AndyCliffMTB]

Thanks Reto, it felt really tough that day. I think there must be something in that. The Geneva 10K is at 7pm so that’s a plus😀

If I were you I would have skipped the training and just gone for the hearty breakfast 😂 . You look like a bit of a flat footed runner like me, or was it just the surface ?

[@AndyCliffMTB]

Haha Paul, I’m actually a heel striker but I was so under-par that I was sometimes jogging towards the end of each rep😂

Do you partake in the "vaccine" trial during covid.
I have severe exercise intolerance since my one and only shot, along with a load of other issues.
Stay strong

[@AndyCliffMTB]

No, I didn’t but I did contract COVID for the very first time in October 2023 which knocked me out for most of that month. I then caught a nasty chest virus in late December and I sometimes wonder whether I’m still not fully recovered🤔

[@brillo86]

Could be that then mate. Know a few people with breathlessness from catching Covid years ago and still have it now.

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@@brillo86 I think I’m on the upward track now thankfully, I’ve got the Geneva 10K in 2 months so I am going to keep working on the recovery😊

[@brillo86]

Stray strong. All the best.

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@@brillo86 Thanks, I’ll do my best - you too😊
