Run with the Runner's High after a While

I ran an official full Marathon race 17 days ago, which was torture. I aimed for "sub-six," which means I would finish running within 6 hours.
I ran a practice run for 45 kilometers about 50 days ago, but it took me 6 hours and 50 minutes, which proved that I would not be able to run in"sub-six." I lost my motivation and felt "runner's low" instead of "runner's high."
On the full marathon day, the temperature lose up to 20 degrees Celsius which was hot for runners and I got my legs cramped after 30 kilometers. I had to walk instead of running for the rest 10 kilometers. As a result, my record was 6 hours and 40 minutes.

I tried to run after that, but my "runner's low" continued, and I could only run for a couple of kilometers after the race.
However, after 17 days, I enjoyed running 6 kilometers, for uphill and downhill off-road running course yesterday.
My heart rate was able to rise to 158 beats per minute. I felt the runner's high as well.
I'm now preparing for a trail run or a cross-country race in two weeks.


I think my instinct automatically controls my "runner's high" and "runner's low" for my health.

By the way, I forgot what my weird log-in name means.
I didn't remember it, but after seeing my self-introduction, I learned it was a wordplay with a "hot-dog."
Lol


久しぶりに「ランナーズ・ハイ」を感じながら走った

17日前に公式のフルマラソン大会にでたが、地獄だった。そもそもは「6時間切り」を狙っていた。
しかし、本番の1か月前に試験走行をしてみたところ、45キロ走るのに、6時間50分かかってしまった。本番で6時間切りは不可能だとわかってしまった。
その後やる気が無くなって、「ランナーズ・ロー」になってしまった。
本番当日は、気温が20度まで上がって、ランナーにとっては暑い日となった。30キロ過ぎた時点で足がつってしまって、残りの10kmを歩かねばならない羽目になった。結局6時間40分かかってゴールした。

その後練習を再開したが、「ランナーズ・ロー」の状態が続き、2、3キロ走るともうイヤになって走り止めてしまう。
しかしながら、17日がすぎた昨日は違った。久しぶりに楽しく6km走ることができた。トレイルランの練習として上り坂と下り坂があって舗装してない道もある周回コースを走った。
心拍を158まで上げることができて、ランナーズハイも感じることができた。
私は今、2週間後にせまったトレイルラン(またはクロカン)レースの準備をしているのだ。

多分本能が、自動的に「ランナーズハイ」と「ランナーズロー」を調整してくれて自分の健康を守っているのだと思う。

ところで、自分のヘンなログインネームの由来をすっかり忘れてしまっていた。
自己紹介を読んで、それがホットドッグのダジャレだったことを思い出した。

I had to walk instead of running for the relast 10 kilometers.

I ran an official full Mmarathon race 17 days ago, which was torture.

While Marathon is a place in Greece, when talking about a marathon race we don't capitalize it.

I ran a practice run for 45 kilometers about 50 days ago, but it took me 6 hours and 50 minutes, which proved that I would not be able to run in "sub-six."

Grammatically this is fine, but I might add to the end something like "... without more training." to make it make more sense.

I lost my motivation and felt "runner's low" instead of "runner's high."

On the full marathon day, the temperature lrose up to 20 degrees Celsius which was hot for runners and I got my legs crampeds after 30 kilometers.

You can also say "my legs cramped/cramped up."

I had to walk instead of running for the restfinal 10 kilometers.

You can also say "the rest of the 10 kilometers." but it sounds slightly less proper. Totally fine in speech.

As a result, my record was 6 hours and 40 minutes.

I tried to run after that, but my "runner's low" continued, and I could only run for a couple of kilometers after the race.

However, after 17 days after the marathon, I enjoyed running 6 kilometers, for on an uphill and downhill off-road running course yesterday.

My heart rate was able to rise to 158 beats per minute.

This is grammatically fine, but sounds strange out of context unless you have a heart condition. If that's not the case, then I would just say "My heart rate rose to 158 beats per minute."

I felt thea runner's high as wellgain.

This is technically correct, but for minimal confusion I wouldn't use "as well" here unless in one of these situations:

* Someone else had a runner's high, and you wanted to say that you had it too.
* There had previously been no mention of "runner's high", and you are now bringing up that it's something you feel while running.

I'm now preparing for a trail run or a cross-country race in two weeks.

I think my instinct automatically controls my "runner's high" and "runner's low" for my health.

Doing a marathon at all is crazy to me, I can't believe you went running again right after the race. Be careful not to get injured.

Thank you for your feedback and corrections.
You're absolutely correct to "be careful not to get injured."

A marathon can make you feel happier, satisfied, and pleased, by releasing a morphine-like substance in your body, which is called "runner's high."
"Not to get injured" is one of the most important things to consider for every runner.
In my case, the red zone heart rate is more than 148 bpm which enables me to improve my VO2 max (it's a barometer to assess my cardiac-pulmonary function). However, training with the red zone heart rates has more chance of getting injured.
Therefore, I used to adopt the tactic of running LSD (long slow distance) with the green zone heart rates (125 - 138).
But it turned out in vain to run within 6 hours, so I needed to increase my heart rate.
I use a Garmin Forerunner 265 smartwatch, to do my training as scientific as possible.

It's a kind of battle with my aging. Now I'm 62 years old.

Honestly that's incredibly impressive at any age. Great job.

>I think you meant that it increased 20 degrees Celsius?

Usually, the temperature is 0 - 8 degrees Celsius these days in Japan.
However, on the marathon day, the temperature was 4℃ at the beginning of the race, but it rose to about 20 degrees Celsius afterward.
Usually, about 95 % of 13,000 runners finish running every year.
However, only 90% of 13,000 runners were able to finish running this year.
A lot of runners dropped out because of dehydration.

Well, the red zone heart rate is more than 148 bpm which enables me to improve my VO2 max (it's a barometer to assess my cardiac-pulmonary function). However, training with the red zone heart rates has more chance of getting injured.
Therefore, I used to adopt the tactic of running LSD (long slow distance) with the green zone heart rates (125 - 138).
But it turned out in vain to run within 6 hours, so I needed to increase my cardiac-pulmonary function. To do it, I need to increase my heart rate to more than 148 bpm. However, I have been accustomed to run very slowly, so it is very difficult for me to make my heart rate more than 150 bpm while running on a horizontal land.
However, I'm able to increase my heart rate by more than 150 more easily with the "uphill training."
(This was what I wanted to mean. Thanks!)
