Subject: RE: 8.4.17 Fabulous Friday! Interesting. I struggle to keep my weight up when doing a lot of long sessions and high volume, so maybe my body just thinks this is normal or something. What tends to kick me into stress mode (just guessing based on energy levels and when I've gotten sick or injured, have never confirmed this with lab testing ) is a lot of high-intensity stuff, beyond about a tempo pace/effort. I am just naturally kind of a steady-state animal and the line between "sustainably hard" and unsustainable has always been pretty thin for me in all three disciplines--probably more suited to the longer stuff than sprints.
3100m of swimming yesterday, made less than delightful by gardeners gassing up the mowers right outside the pool and the resulting fumes, then I would assume billowing grass pollen added to the mix as well. Sucking air the whole time and headache for a couple hours after. But my pool access is seriously limited this time of year, so had to get it done. |
