Hi guys,
wondering if if anyone out there could help...... two days in a row now I've suffered real badly trying to do some hard efforts- I get through the first three minute Rep and I'm ok but my arms even burn and I'm actually not running that fast and as soon as I hit a hill I suffer and basically go backwards. I've had to stop after the first rep.
I have a physical job (farmer) and for four hours a morning I'm on my feet carrying heavy stuff on occasions. I have a cup of coffee and a slice of toast mid way through the morning. Is this not enough?
Could anyone one give me a heads up as to what I could eat/ take supplements to give me energy etc. ?
thanks in advance!!!!

Are you just doing too much ? I think rather than eat anything special or take a supplement - you sound like you need a rest or at least a couple of easy days.
Most plans only have hard efforts once a week. None have them on consecutive days.
I'd not worry too much about it to be honest - rest is the most overlooked part of training. It's essential.
Try eating food that has vitality and less processing.
Supplements are tricky, as a lot of the products out there do not deliver what they propose to. Cheaper products are a waste of money.
i utilise Neolife ....www.neolife.com, and have done for 26 years.
They aid recovery like no other, I have immense energy and feel much younger than my age. I have no excess body fat. And beleive me when I say, I do not kill my self training.
Moderate exersise, but variety to challenge the body in different ways I find is enough.
Try to get 8 hours sleep
coffee by the way, although is a short term stimulant, can spike your blood sugar and crash, hence a feeling of tiredness.
Try to avoid sugar and sugar filled products as well.
Good luck.
