Subject: Extended training breaks... Does anyone regularly take long breaks in thier training, say more than a week of complete rest? I'm having a lot of nagging issues and I'm thinking that a week or two of either complete rest or just swimming is in order to give my legs, hips and back a break. But to be completely honest, I'm a little scared to just take all of that time off. I don't want to gain weight, altho I could probably manage to keep my diet ultra clean for a couple of weeks. Mostly what I'm afraid of are the mental results. I'm crabby and grouchy after 2 days off. Two weeks and I'm afraid somebody's gonna get hurt. For those who do this, how do you handle it? Any strategies? |
