Successful Failure

5 miler - No time taken

Tough day at the office today.

About 10 degrees - perfect really - wind & rain though throughout.

Just felt very flat & very tired overall - never really got going at all - just hobbled along all the way - couldn't seem to do more than that.

Could never see the time checks as it was pissing rain throughout the whole duration but I gathered I was about 20 seconds off the usual pace (possibly). I was 08:05 at the TC1 - Which is not exactly good but I have had good runs from this position before. 

Decided to stop just after 5.5k at about 22:50 - have used alot of mental energy to get my sleep schedule on track so I decided to forgive myself. 

Mentally today I was excellent but the problems were all in my chest - just couldn't get the breathing going properly - totally shallow - I need a good race!!! + some sprint sessions too.

Lets see how the 5k goes on Friday. Keen for this to go well & get a decent 20:15 without too much strain - If I struggle with this too then I need to get back to the intervals!

Let's see.
