Scary treadmill Lesson
5:34 AM
So today, Jasz, Brandon and I went to the gym. the boys were with their body building stuff, while I went for fitness-cardio-stamina stuff (read: running - treadmill).
It was scary shit moment. at first 3 mins, I ran at speed 1-3 then increase the speed up to 7 and ran for 10 mins. I decided to take a break after 10 mins, I pressed stop button. the treadmills immediately stop. Consequently, I was getting blacked out for almost 3 mins. It was really scary, I was so scared. There was only one person there, and my other friends were at level 3. I couldn't see anything, my head was spinning, I felt like I want to puke. I kept telling myself, "you can't collapse", "relax", "take a deep breath". I couldn't feel my leg somehow. I was strongly holding to the treadmill, while acting cool. because I didn't want the person to freak out as I'm about to passed out. Even though, my phone was right in front of me, I didn't think reaching out for my friends was the best option. I just needed to keep conscious. Although there was several times I tend to close my eyes, suddenly I remembered the basic first aid when you're about to passed out, keep your eyes open, breath, make sure ventilation is right. for the first time, when the wind blow during that time, I appreciate the air, I took a deep breath! after 3 mins or so, I puke, but thank god, it didn't come out and spilled. I managed to walk to toilet somehow even though my vision was blurry. after vomit, and short walk to the toilet, I felt better.
It was weird though, because during my running phase itself, I didn't feel tired or anything. everything was stable and okay. I didn't think I went too fast. It was still at my phase. It was not my first time running too. I still remember, my running routine at Taman Metropolitan Kepong, completed the track, was way more tiring than this!
To think of it, I think the reason was because, I stopped immediately and stand still. I should have slow down the speed as well before I went to complete stop. Maybe my body was in shock to have sudden stop after catching such stamina during the running phase.
It was funny, yet it was really scary to be in that situation - alone. It's okay, I learnt my lesson. shall do it better next time.
