Hey. I thought I’d give this a shot, just a general chat thread about running… eg. How was your run today, how are you tracking, how’s your training going for that race that you decided to go for etc… if it’s popular, maybe someone knows how to write a bot to post weekly or monthly? (I don’t)
If these are the kind of base building exercises your coach has you doing, sub two hours should be no problem. Enjoy the ride!
Thanks. I hope so! I hope my body can handle it though. I’m fit, but not running fit, and I think with mental stress my body is having a hard time recovering.
I’m not sleeping very good and my Garmin watch shows my HRV dropping. Any advice?
Restless sleep is one of my major overtraining warnings. The HRV and sore hamstrings also suggest you need a break. (If you don’t want to back off a bit, you can try taking an aspirin or ibu before bed.)
Thanks for the advice. I really hate the idea of taking more time off. I really feel like I regress easily. Both with running and weight lifting. To be fair, I’m done more hard runs (effort) this week than I have in close to 15 years. I expect to be sorry. I wonder if adding more protein and sleep might help?
