I'd like to run more in general (who wouldn't???) AND vary the types of runs to improve training, especially speed and endurance. So today I decided to try a tempo run, even though I'm still hacking and wheezing like someone in a consumption sanitarium from this "cold" the mini-muffins brought home from school.
I was ok for the first 2 miles but then I got really, really tired. My legs felt very heavy and I felt like I couldn't breathe very well. That's probably because I wasn't breathing very well. For the last 4 days my chest has felt like there is a tickly, sticky web of flem and mucous, capturing every molecule of oxygen and holding it prisoner in the top part of my lungs.
So much for breathing from the belly!
