Hi Gang,
I'm in my mid-fifties and find I am tired for two days following a hard Sunday workout. It's been sometime since I've pushed myself physically like this so I'm not used to needed a decent amount of recovery time.
When I say I am tired what I mean is I feel that my eyes are heavy and I'm not up for doing exercise for 2 days after my workout. I've been back at swimming for about 3 months and currently push myself at least 1x per week under a coach. This equals about 3000 yards.
Any thoughts and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Maybe try and get a longer cool down in after a very tough workout. Also make sure you are getting a good recovery meal in after you are done. Your muscles will need protein. Stay hydrated.
