training is bad for you (Read 725 times)

JimR	posted: 2/9/2010 at 3:02 PM Ever notice that when you finish a training run, you're tired and can't run for a while? What are you going to do if you finish a training run, and then you have to run, and you can't because you're too tired?

Yes it's also bad because I tend to sleep very well, after running. Who needs 8 hours of sleep, some of those hours can be put to more productive use

Don't race training runs then.

Without quoting (hat trick), that's the joke from the beginning of Get Shorty. The guy has heard that bed is the most likely place to die, so he decides that he will only sleep in booths at coffee shops.

Another disturbing thing is that my heart doesn't beat as much as it used to. What's up with that?

You only have so many beats, it's slowing down to try and make them last.
