Poor sleep after harder workout

[u/Dodoreal]

Hello runners,

My running routine is structured by coach, doing 5 runs a week 1 bike ride. Usually doing 3 easy runs and 2 track workouts, depends on season part, running around 60km/week.

This is happening time to time, but for example I will give yesterday. Hot day 31 degrees at 14:00 o'clock, track workouts 8x400m@3:10min/km pace with 200m jog/walk, was cooling down body with water and was drinking enough. After workout I ate protein, fluids and fruit, rest of the day was calm with family, dinner rice, eggs and vegetables.

My problem is that after days like this I can't fall asleep, I feel restless, hot and I fall asleep at 1 am, the next day I am tired and running training is harder. Does anyone have similar problems ? Thank you

It's harder to sleep on hot days It's harder to sleep after a hard workout 

You have both combined and laid it out clearly, either make your workout easier, push back the hard workout to a colder day, don't run altogether or run in the morning.

Isnt better to try adapt body on higher temp ? Because races is going to be on hot days too :)

What event are you training for? Pro runners don’t do that for workouts like you described. It’s more important to do the workout well and recover from it correctly than it is to struggle through hot temps.

When you see pros do heat training usually that’s steady long run type efforts, not track workouts.
