My long run yesterday was equally awful - hot and humid (44 degrees LOL) meant it zapped all my energy and I ended up unable to breath, pale and clammy, retching in a hedge. I drank six litres of water, a coke and a monster and managed one very small wee. Had to lie down on the floor when I got home. I should probably learn lessons from this but I'm not sure what.
hats-
That's at least 7 degrees hotter than I've ever tried to run in. Bloody hell!
Still no energy today. 4mi easy...30 secs a mile off what I'd expect to do on an easy run. Not in itself weird for me to have a few days like this but it's very odd after a short break and reduced mileage. Resting HR is pretty normal for me....can't be fatigue.

Just set off for my long run of the week. Ten miles. With a pace step in the middle.
Managed to make it two miles before grinding to a halt. Legs like concrete, tight chest, nausea and a stitch. Walked and stretched for a bit, still felt energyless.
No biggy in the grand scheme of things but feel crushingly disappointed for some reason. Long runs have been a little too tough recently and have dialled the mileage back a bit hoping it would help.
