 12 |  Subject: not enough recovery from last workout?Hey guys and gals, I've been following a training plan and am entering week 3 and so far so good. (sunday short swim/bike, mon - off, tues- long swim, wed - short run, thurs - long bike, fri - off, sat - long run) Yesterday was my short run day(3miles) and I warmed up, started running, and only got through 1.3 miles before having to stop. Lots of burning in the legs and just being "off." Have you guys ever started a workout and just tanked way too early for no apparent reason? I ate and drank plenty of fluids throughout the day. Thanks in advance, Mike |

We're all so different, and going a little too hard on a prior workout (which may have felt fantastic), often results in a 'payback' day. Yes- we've all tanked early in a workout. No one workout is important. It's about volume and consistency, with as much intensity as you can throw in there, while still keeping up with your volume and consistency. if that makes any sense. |

Especially that 'off' feeling tells you enough. I don't know what schedule you follow and how often you have a recovery week and how old you are and how your overall health is. How much stress you have in daily life etc. How many carbs you eat. Try and keep track of the following: How you sleep How tired you are during the day How sore your muscles are What your mood is How your appetite is How dark your urine Your heart rate first thing after waking up Your heart rate variability (if your monitor allows it) Your SpO2 Keep track also the signs of a compromised immunity. (Sore Throat etc) Keep track of how your work out feels. Increased RPE means that you have to take it easy. If you run 1 mile with an average heart rate of 130 and then over time you have to have a heart rate of 145 to maintain the same speed, then you know you need some extra rest. Also.....try and do a cardiac stress test every now and again. There is an android app called 'cardiac stress test'. I wish you a happy recovery! |
