Soreness, tiredness

I just recently posted about increasing my workouts, which I have done to some extent. I swam 2000 yds Friday and Monday (Saturday dry land weight training; Sunday rest). I am experiencing a lot of soreness (even before increasing). ... I feel like I am swallowing Alleve tablets like candy (2-4 a day). I take tons of supplements and have been using Dotfit Lean MR powder post-workout. Whatever I am doing isn't really working. I dont' have a solution, just some ideas (which might not even be right) Is your soreness muscle soreness? That's what I'm assuming. If it's joint pain, you might want to see a doc to get a script for a PT. First, some questions, to get a sense of what's happening here. How much were you swimming before you increased to 2000? Did you increase speed and increase distance at the same time? How many months have you been working out? How old are you? Do you have a background in athletics? If you are too sore, you might want to keep doing what you are doing, for a while, rather than increasing now. Regular exercise will get you fit, even if the workout is not intense. Many intense workout regimes ahve a rest week built in. If you are sore, you might want to ease off for a a few days or a week. Anti-inflammatories, like Aleve, don't help the muscle regeneration process (which is related to inflamation). I tend to be very skeptical opf suppliments - healthy diet works wonders. That being siad, I looked at the Dotfit Lean MR powder site and I didn't see anything that raised any flags for me (but then I did not recognize all the chemical names, even with a chemistry/medical science background). It might be that adding healthy but fast carbs to your recovery would make a difference. Like fruit, for example - or maybe even something less healthy, like chocolate milk. Good luck
