I woke up this morning and feeling good, but really tired. I went to the track and it was 400's i ran 7 of them at all around 1:06-1:07 pace. Steve jumped in with me on the 8th and it was so weird. On the back stretch i got really light headed and started to suck wind. Then i got so dizzy that i could not even see the track, so i went in to the turf and stopped running. It freaked me out and have never had anything like this happen to me. I think it is my lack of sleep. I have only been getting 5-6 hours of sleep and pushing my body really really hard. I have constantly been falling asleep in class and even at work just sitting their. I am going to start getting more sleep and take some naps. If you have any advise please tell me.

Today at school i was still really tired and worn out, but it was like a blessing in 2nd period we had a free day and i went and actually slept in the corner of the class. I was out that whole period and would try to get some naps in all day at school. Then after school i went to track and did a 1 mile warm up and felt okay. Then i decided to do one 400 with some of the sprinters and i was okay. I ran it in 1:01. That was weird this morning, i have been eating and drinking all day though, so maybe that is what it is. After i did a 4 mile cool down. Then i went home and took a 2.5 hour nap. That felt amazing. I will get to bed early now so this don't happen again. I think everything was a factor and my body was just so worn down and i hit a wall like in the marathon. Lets hope this never happens again. I'm breaking 4:30 and 9:50 this weekend oh yea.

Did you Eat before the work out? Also did you drink any fluids?

Hey Hayden, I got your message. Take it easy today, get some sleep and like Bill said get some electrolytes in you and some good food.

You'll be fine it was just a one of those weird things.

From Dustin on Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 10:50:45

Be sure to keep drinking throughout the day. Also get some more rest.

Dude im eligable for this weekend!!!! And ya eat some good food and take some power naps.

Don't let these other guys fool you with their 5 hours of sleep every night. Sleep is one of the most important elements of your training. I try to get 9+ hrs every night...10 if I'm lucky and sometimes a nap at around 2 p.m.

If not I start getting really pissy and my running takes a dive.

From Jeff on Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 22:06:08

I agree with superfly, Get more sleep!

Hayden, Listen to your body. It will give you signals and warnings that you should listen to early. My guess is you probably knew that you were pushing your limits, but tried to push past some warning signs. Sleep, eat, drink, and ice as a precaution. Your the man.

Maybe that's why I'm so slow compared to you and Clyde - 6 or less hours of sleep per night!

Good job on your workouts anyway, though. Keep it up and you'll be right on track for those goals of yours! Keep it rolling!
