Carrying a heavy weight
About an hour in to my run today, I got suddenly tired. I wasn't running fast today. But, I spent a fair amount of time in the woods and on hills. Still, I was a bit surprised at how suddenly I felt tired -- like someone had handed me a heavy weight to carry.
You can see the hill I was jogging up when my legs got tired.
I wonder why I got tired so quickly. I've had, for me, a long week of training. I also felt a bit hungry when I was running. Maybe if I'd carried some sport drink I'd have felt fine. Maybe I just picked up the pace a bit as I went up the hill and ended up going a bit too hard. I don't think so. I didn't feel like I was going hard.
