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.
In Tour de France those riders are crazy overtrained, but they're
nearly nonhuman these days and that's what the race demands of them Can't expect anything less from worlds toughest event
