Hi there,
As you all know i am sicknote (or was) at the moment.... it seems like my training has gone downhill since suffering with the migraines for past 4 months.
I have not stopped running but when i felt dizzy etc, i used to stop and catch my breath for few seconds etc... then carry on, BUT i have remained in this habbit and keep stopping regardless of if i need too.....
I think i have lost my confidence in running and therefore think in my head/body i cannot go on any further and stop... my body feels like it says no to going any further... of course my breathing has become laboured too but i guess they both go together.
I get very fatigued too. i ate a banana before training and a small flapjack too and drank plenty during the day, i also have had my bloods done etc.... because of the headaches also i have not done any long runs for a while on a sunday ... and if i have i have stopped a few times in between.
I go to training straight from work, but beforehand sit in a car for 50 mins then i get out and then run near enough straight away, i also have a sit down all day job :embarrassed:
When i get to 3-4 miles it becomes a lot easier for me and i feel comfortable then.
Bearing in mind i did a half marathon in March so surely i have not lost my fitness that quick, i also visit the gym for hour every other day i dont run.
Gym i do rower and treadmill (sometimes walking on highest incline for 30 mins) but i guess that does not help stamina, some weights and sometimes bike... i hardly do the x trainer anymore .. so perhaps i need to start again using that.
Course in the winter i used to do the cross countries and 5k time trials which kept the fitness up high
I am really looking for some tips really on how to get back to my former self, i ran last night with a club member who knows i am finding it a bit hard was suprised how much i gone downhill quick... he said it will come back
Was going to ask the gym instructors but to be honest not sure if thats the best advice for me to get.
While back i entered myself for a ten mile race for this weekend, should i go and just use it as a training run ??
