I fully subscribe to the theory that every workout should have a purpose. Last night the purpose was to negative split over 13.6 miles, running hard, picking up the pace as I got toward the end of the run. I've been doing a 13.6 mile "long" (I know it isn't long for some of you guys) each weekend for the past three weekends. This was the first one where I introduced "speed" into the equation.
I am destroyed today. It tore me apart. I did it, but I have the full-on "workout hangover". I drank 24 oz. of Endurox after and had a huge protein smoothie and just crashed on the couch and watched The Matrix for the thousandth time. Those workouts hurt bad, but it feels so good to get it behind you.
Ever had that?
