I find staying up until I’m actually feeling sleepy helps* which means I’m usually up until 1-1:30am, sometimes 2am. Then I wake up at 7:15am and by the time sunday rolls around I’m ready to sleep until about 10am. Then it starts again.

* it is in fact deeply unhelpful.

See?

Bed at 10. I wake in the night and do an hour on duolingo at 3am, then back to sleep. Awake at 6:30am on gym mornings, 7am otherwise.

Feeling the longer term effects of the Adrenaline shot. Severe anxiousness and paranoia. To the point of almost vomiting. Man it is rough.

I went to sleep at 6am last night, up at 12.30, feeling good

That really sucks, hope it passes soon

Very weird but impressive

I don't set the alarm or anything. I just wake around that time and know I can't get back to sleep without tiring myself out again. Duolingo does the trick. And the one-hour thing is ballpark. I aim for 1000XP a day, so once I've gotten that, podcast on, the back to the lad of nod.

Mostly passed now just some lingering weakness. I must say this my first experience of a "mental health problem". Whole new appreciation of paranoia/depression etc.

I got a new* one of those heart rate monitor things cos I'm trying out this Zone 2 training thing and man it's some hard to keep in Zone 2! I was mowing the lawn at lunchtime and any bit of pulling-and-dragging I had to do (getting around trees etc) pushed me into Zone 3 right away so I'd have to stop and wait for my heart rate to go down, and then it'd suddenly be down in Zone 1. Bleurgh

* cos the cheap one I bought was useless so I returned it

That is the toughest thing about Zone 2
RUnning slow enough
It feels like cheating

Do you do the whole 80% in Zone 2 thing?

Dude, I tried

But I have too much going on. I mean I'm running with various clubs and so on. And when the group I'm with kicks it up a gear, I am usually gonna hang with them.

My final marathon this year is Dublin. Then another Half in November.
Once that's done, I am gonna put a lot of regular easy miles on the legs through the winter. RUn like a 10k every morning or something. And that may be the time to look more seriously at Zone 2.

It's very emotional, but I don't know what course of action it's suggesting. Is it saying that if the miserable-looking lad had asked the cheerful looking lad "are you doing alright?" then he would have opened up and everything would have been ok?

 

[rettucs]

Moreso, don't assume someone is ok just because they have a cheerful exterior. If you're checking in on yer buddies, check in on all of them.

I hate terms like: moaning or whining.
If I am not happy I will say so. That's a strength if anything.
If anyone is not feeling good, please tell someone and keep telling folks until someone listens.

Yeah
Have real conversations with your mates

I know I am a broken record on teh running

But if you are feeling depressed or suffer from it regularly - try to get outside for a good long walk or run or bike ride
Doctors prescribe it, they should do so as a matter of course
