It may have hurt but another run in the books is better than none at all :-) CautiouslyAudacioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14750277133680102378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066120275361158042.post-28600139487436545642013-03-11T10:59:00.078-04:002013-03-11T10:59:00.078-04:00I have had a few tough workouts like that.

(I recently ran my own 10K a few weeks ago that did NOT go as planned and I totally positive split each mile.) I have had two specific workouts I can recall that I completely just quit. One I had not slept well the night before and a lot of stuff was going on in my personal life that was distracting me. I quit 1 1/2 miles into the tempo run and just re-did it a few days later. Then it was fine. This past fall when training for NYC marathon I got halfway through a track workout but was not hitting my 1K splits at all. I think I went to hard on the first part of the workout and had nothing left for the last part. So I just quit because it was only getting worse and getting me down. Those are the only two times I've just outright quit. So I guess I would just say finish when you can. But ultimately you know your body best. We all have those occasional days that leave us questioning our ability. If you've had several days or workouts that leave you exhausted you may just need a day off or some easy runs. Maybe your next hard workout will leave you feeling stronger and more confident. :-)Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865099182609959790noreply@blogger.com
