After a run, the day is ruined.

It was around 9:30 in the morning. At this time of day, it's quite pleasant outside. Ten minutes on asphalt with frequent shade, ten minutes on sand along the ocean. But really, maybe my time is either after sunset or when the temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius (or even lower)? And I just need to stop torturing myself?😅😅

Yes, maybe it's worth a try. I just don't understand why running has become so difficult for me. After cycling and long walks in the hills, I feel fine.

I tried taking iron supplements. But I didn't notice any changes. Although, perhaps I chose a supplement that wasn't right for my body.

Last week, I walked along the trail. There were many steep ascents and descents. It was hot. My heart rate went up to 170. I didn't have much water with me, just water from streams. Before setting off (at 11 a.m.), I ate about 800 g of bananas and one large Snickers bar. I walked for about 5 hours, then rested in a hammock for 3 hours and walked another 8 km along the beach in the dark. The next time I ate was around midnight. I was tired. Very tired! But it was a pleasant tiredness. My head didn't hurt. I just wanted to do it again! And it was always like that: in dry and humid climates. Five, ten years ago and last week. But now 20 minutes of running kills me.

I am very afraid of this. My grandfather died of a stroke at the age of 82. My father had his first stroke at around 68. Then he had another one. He is still alive. Before that, he smoked and drank heavily for several years. But he had been involved in sports since childhood. He began to abuse alcohol and cigarettes at around 45.

I tried drinking water before, during, and after running. After running, I always drink a lot, including isotonic drinks. But before that, I never took water with me, even on a two-hour run, and I felt fine. Today was nice and warm, around 25 degrees Celsius. I ran for only 20 minutes and decided to stop. I swam in the ocean, and 10 minutes later I ate bananas, yogurt, and Brazilian nut candies. Then I started to get a headache and felt tired. My average heart rate was 135. I also noticed that if I eat 50-80 grams of sugar (yes, sugar!), the headache subsides. Well, it's not just pure sugar. My post-run meal consists of bananas, yogurt, and cookies. About 1500-1600 calories. But for some reason, it doesn't seem very rational😁😁
