Hello all,
Happy to be here. I have read some of these posts regarding how frequent one should run and have a question. Right now I typically run 2-3 days in a row then take 2-3 days off. It's a convenience thing as I run after work and don't work a typical 5-day work week. Anyway, my endurance is getting better but I stil feel as if I struggle too much on occasion. No physical pain (anymore) when I run.
I just began running about 8 weeks ago. When I started, I couldn't even make it 1/4 of a mile without stopping and requiring resuscitation. I can now make it 2 1/2 miles each time. Sometimes I finish good and feel like I can run another 2 1/2 miles. Other (fewer) times, I am ready to pass out at less than half that but always manage to push myself to finish without stopping.
Is this inconsistentcy caused by my running habits or is it typical? It isn't always the first day back or the third day in a row of running that I tire more easily. Nor can I pinpoint it to the days where I ate the big box of Cheez-Its while at work.
