I was actually talking with my brother last night about the need to take a break after a season of running, and I ended up taking like a month off, and got back into it, but then I took another break, just because I've been really busy. However I went for a run today, and I cannot remember the last time I have felt that awful after running:
a) less than 5 k
b) running it at a pace that is around 10 min miles
I came to realization, you never forget how to run, it's a basic concept that we have ingrained into use from caveman times. You also never forget how to run fast, also from caveman times. What does happen is that your body gives you a biggggggggg screw you if you've taken a lot of time off and then decided a brilliant idea would be to attempt to go for a fast-ish paced run. I got a major stitch at mile 1, then another one at mile 1.3 and then it just kinda kept on hurting till I got back to my house.
Guess my goal trying to swim twice, ride twice and run once and stretch after all activities kinda flopped.
I swam once, rode twice, and ran once. I did however stretch lots, which is a good thing because man was I ever sore when I got my massage on tuesday.
~Cheers
