My breath has to catch my legs ?!?!?!
ril
Monday's long run, was made late, but done. In the morning I still felt tired. It isn't lack of motivation. Maybe my organism fighting with a bug. I feel suddenly tired, or too hungry (more than normal :P) some dizzy sometimes.
Motivation is fine. I feel butterflies in my stomach everytime I think of running!
Monday: 5pm run 7miles
The truth is that I wasn't very pleased with this run. My legs were ok but started feeling too tired too soon. Introduced many walk breaks to catch my breath. Now I can't say it was the weather. Now it is becoming fresher and the sun is low enough to not interfer with my running. Lack of fitness. Ended feeling too tired like a very long run.
Wednesday run: 4 miles.
Lost the chance to run on tuesday. First, in the morning I had to attend an event at school. Then I had the intention of running in the afternoon, but our usual afternoon activities didn't let me enough time... This morning I lost valuable time because of my partners. As we finally started training made a resistant training with bands. Then, time only aloud us to walk 2 miles. The sun was already high and I wasn't even able to think as I was SO HUNGRY. Bla, bla, bla. My run was still missing!
Started running at 6pm. How strong my legs feel, even I can tell they are running faster. Is my breath what I can't catch. My lack of work of this last month. But this improvement in strenght is real and my legs are in great shape. I don't even have to complain about the spur or my left knee! The run went great. Weather was perfect and I was just there enjoying what I expect will be a great off-season training!

Great work Hilda - it sounds like you are improving all the time ;-)
Expect some ups and downs after a marathon. Some days you'll feel great, other days not so good.
I'm experiencing the hunger thing at the moment too - not quite sure what is going on.
Patience, it will get better, allow some time for recovery before you feel 100% again. Some people need longer than others, don't worry.
Your breathing will catch up to your legs Hilda. It will improve as your training builds up (in length of runs and quality of some sessions). I have the same problem (lack of breath) at the moment!
I hope you figure out whatever it is that is going on. Maybe it is just post marathon stuff. Have you decided what marathon you will do next? I like your new profile photo (not sure if I already told you that.)
Thats a great feeling when your strong and you know it!
Bask in the post marathon glow and enjoy it.

We all have off days (some of us have more than others). You got stronger as the week progressed though. It will take a little while to fully recovery.
Good luck.
And thanks for your kind comments on my blog.
Hilda,
There are number of runs..I have to stop and just walk a bit.
I don't think there is anything wrong with that. For me, my mind will be screaming out 'uh oh there goes your endurance.'
I know it is just the insecure side yapping. I have run enough and have faith in my body.
Sometimes running hwo u feel is good..i mean..walk and run depend on how you feel. No agenda, no time, no HR.
I have hassles the other way. My breath is doing fine but the legs break down.
The ups and downs are normal. Body and mind sometimes disagree too. Don't worry, keep on running, you are a marathoner!
I have the same problem sometimes; I'm sure you'll soon be back in top form.
Hi Hilda
You may already know it but I was told by a pro that the lack of breath may be due to lack of Iron.
Try increasing your iron intake and see how in goes.
