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.

I do yoga once/twice every two weeks along with HIIT training and some weight lifting.
Yoga has helped improve my hip flexor, glutes and calves flexibility.
But I should focus in running more.
