Nutrition and Running

I had a rather busy day today. So busy, that is was 4:30pm before I realized I hadn't had lunch. So I had a little something and went through the rest of my work. I headed to the gym after finishing work and was geared up for a good run. Today I was tackling hill intervals for the first time - which was the the least excited about.

Obviously the late lunch translated into an unprepared body - my hopes for a 30 minute run were slashed, as I hit a wall 10 minutes in, and ended up walking hills for a further 10 minutes before I called it a night. I know that I should have been able to handle hills a little better than that, so the improper fuelling is the only logical explanation.

Let's hope tomorrow goes better!

Stats:
Treadmill - Hill interval 1m:1m 10 minutes, then walking for further 10 minutes
Incline - 1.0:7.0
Speed - 7.0km/h
10 minutes, then walking for further 10 minutes
Distance - 2.01km
