I was trying to do a distance set last night but was tired from hitting the gym earlier in the afternoon. I was going 3 seconds/100 slower than I had when recently doing the same set.
For some reason, I can't handle the same workload or recover as well at 49 as I did at 21. :cane:
My question - Does my swimming benefit from struggling through a workout like that? My intensity, effort and heart rate were comparable to when I did the set without weights first and swam much faster.
My strategy is to have a couple of focal points in the week... workouts I make sure I'm rested for b/c I want to test myself. On days when I know I'm going to be tired or worn out from too many hard days in a row, I schedule a lot of drills and some easy swimming to loosen up... still swimming, but I'm not expecting fast times.
