Week 6 - Day 6

I had an awful workout today. I didn't eat well and felt out of sync. Laura came with me to Yates and I ran 8x200m.

Rest: 5 minutes
Format: rep - distance - target time (s) - actual time (s) - heartrate (bpm)

1 - 200m - 28 - 29
2 - 200m - 28 - 29
3 - 200m - 28 - 28
4 - 200m - 28 - 30
5 - 200m - 28 - 30
6 - 200m - 28 - 30
7 - 200m - 28 - 30
8 - 200m - 28 - 30

I felt bad today. I really need to eat better, but I'm still stymied by these times. I did not run in spikes, but still. Given the rest I was taking, I expected much better times than these. I'd be surprised if my time trial yesterday played a part in my performance today...can a single hard rep really affect someone like this the day after? I'm not sure, but at least there's tons of room for improvement.
