Maybe I'm a hypochondriac but do you ever get this feeling you might get a heart attack during a really hard workout?:eek:
Usually when I do a workout that is a little tougher than I can manage and then add some sprints to it, gasping for air, and am basically totally exhausted I sometimes get this really short panicky feeling that usually just lasts a fraction of a second. The feeling is basically "I wonder if I just over-did it and my heart will stop any second":oldman:
I had this today while doing a really tough work out. I was just wondering if others experience this too:blush:

Think of all the endorphins and adrenaline that gets released when you get to that breaking point....and how much easier it will be to push through that instant during a race.
Personally, I get over-anxious just behind the starting block.
I noticed a while back that during sprint workouts, when taking my pulse, my heart seemed to skip a beat. Did the cardiac stress test and found out it actually beats early under those conditions, but is not endangering and had no signs of other mal-effect.
Maybe you should be congratulated for being the one in the group that actually pushes really hard. I usually (not always...) seem to hang back, more interested in finishing gracefully than coming out completely destroyed and failing a set.
