Last Sunday's ride has obviously emptied the tank, tonights run was testament to this. HR was too high for a given effort, legs were un-responsive and to cap it all I couldn't stop yawning. I have been doing this long enough now to have known this was coming after the way I felt on Monday. No worries though, I shall take another day off, stay off the alcohol and eat some good food and I should be back to normal by Thursday.
The coming weekends (two) Sportives are going to be an exercise in restraint. I MUST keep my HR within my aerobic limits if I am to avoid this sort of malaise again.
Most of all I intend to put all my training knowledge and experience to good effect to avoid a repeat.
I know where you find a new one at FMA, the one with an egg in the nest.
