How much can the day's food intake affect a run later that day? I had a bowl of cereal in the morning and some coffee, then for lunch some instant noodles and tea. I am not sure if it was the lousy lunch and not enough plain water, or what, but when I went for my after-work run, my legs felt unusually heavy after the first hills (100m) and I just didn't feel like running anymore.
So, I am not sure if it was the crappy lunch, or if because my runs normally start with an ascent, and that is starting to wear on me. I had a great run on Thursday in the rain that was 17km and 200m gain, and then yesterday was just 8km with 100m gain.
Anybody do yoga in combination with running? My wife suggested some post run yoga poses from Youtube and I cramped up, and nearly keeled over.
I like the new Garmin watch. The GPS acquisition is faster with the GLONASS, but looks like I will need to recharge the battery again after just a couple of days of use.
