185 miles. Best month ever. And a new PR for the half marathon by 7 minutes.
Did 10 miles on Saturday and wanted to stop after 5, problem was I was 5 miles from my place. I felt sluggish and generally blah. As soon as I got home a wave of nauseousness hit me out of nowhere and sidelined me for the rest of the day. This happened 2 weeks ago when I did 16 miles. The only thing I can think of that caused it is drinking too much coffee. I was jittery before this run, even though I had the coffee 3 hours earlier. I havent changed nutrition during the runs or anything else. I did not drink coffee before the half marathon last weekend and felt fantastic.
I dunno. Any thoughts as to the cause of the feeling Ill after the workout? I'm thinking caffeine.
Woke up super early Sunday with a cough and fever. Felt chills and body aches all day Sunday and stayed in bed and took theraflu and nyquil. Today, I'm MUCH better. Only the cough remains. 3 miles on the tread tonight was hard due to the cough.
Allergies! I get the same symptoms about the same time each year.
Dinner tonight! Pan fried polenta in black truffle oil with stir fry mixed veggies. I was surprised to find polenta is a good source of carbs. I added some shredded parmesan after the photo was taken.
Yum!

Sorry you aren't feeling well! That food is making my mouth water. YUM!
ReplyDeleteI think it's probably the coffee. I'd try having it as a treat after your run? Hope you feel better on your next long one! Congrats on the mileage this month - that's awesome!
