AM HR 66

Weird morning run. My HR refused to move out of the 130s. I felt very sluggish and uncomfortable. Then suddenly at about the 4 mile mark, it was like the breaks came off and I felt unstoppable(ish). It's definitely odd that on some days my HR seems to be absurdly high and on other days it remains really low.

 I've heard that when you are in better shape, it takes longer to warm up. Allie laughed when I said this, but I used to feel better and better while running until about the 2hour mark. Unfortunately, this effect seems to come with some tough side effects, such as dizziness and nausea.

i just laughed because two hours seems like a really long time to go without ever hitting a lull. i will agree that i feel better at five miles than i do at two, but anything beyond an hour or so and i go through cycles. highs and lows, or at least stable at medium, but very rarely will i feel better and better with every mile.

i don't think i've ever experienced a run longer than 10 miles where i just kept feeling better and better and better without some sort of dip or lull in pace, even if just for a brief moment. probably the only exception to that would be the first half of a gentle, downhill marathon (TOU), but still, that's well under the two hour mark. even if things don't get outright difficult for another seven miles or so, running becomes uncomfortable. at least for me. maybe i have just never been in that good of shape.
