I PB'd my 5K parkrun time this morning after rolling out of bed and just making it to the start line in time. I ran a smart race and gave everything at the end.
I felt terrible, as if I was choking on my lung like a smoker of 20 years. After the finish line I felt dizzy and couldnt catch my breath. I knew it wasnt a good idea to try to PB but was feeling good.
Why is this not a good idea? I know we need to prepare our body for a workout to warm up our muscles and open the capillaries, but after 7-8 mins I was fully warmed up anyway. Why do we feel terrible afterwards and can this have any negative affects going forward e.g. getting sick?
