Does an intense weight/band workout in the morning, where I'm sore and tired throughout the day, compromise the integrity of my swim workout in the evening? I feel trashed in the water but believe in the necessity of a constructive and consistent dryland routine since I am a "pure" sprinter. I'm all about strength and power in my swims. Until I begin to taper for LCM Nationals, I intend to maintain my dryland/swim regime. Is this a good strategy or am I doing more harm than good? I lift 5 days/week alternating upper and lower body (with core every day) and swim 3-5 days/week (3,500 yds average). Thoughts?

I red some quote (I think it was on this board) that says someting like the real training is at that time when you do not put your muscles to work.
After the efforts in training your muscles are building up, preparing for a next effort. So, when you train hard in that phase, training is contra productive.
However, not knowing your strength etc. I would suggest you listen good to what your body says.
