Can't even describe how terrible I felt on this. Usually after a day off my legs get "life" but felt worse (leg lifted yesterday). Felt sluggish, lethargic, "off", felt sore and heat made it worse. 1/4 mi in I wanted to quit because my entire body felt terrible. This was one of those "there is nothing easy about this run"? Cannot believe how slow I'm going and zero improvement in pace back to my easy pace prior to the 8 mos off due to injury. Usually after 2-3 weeks my pace improves 15-20 sec p mi, then again, then again -- now it gets worse? After mile 3 this felt like an effort -- at 4:35mi I had to stop as I could feel myself seriously overheating (the sides of my head felt "hot"). I then had to stop again because I felt so terrible that I could not continue. Today I purposely tried to increase mileage 20% to begin to build up a long run. I'm still not even up to my prior easy run mileage (6.75 to 7.5 mi?)? Can't I understand how I have zero improvement over 3 months unless this is all heat related.
