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.
Just bringing up another point, how well do you sleep? Sleep is key for recovery. I know that when I'm sleep deprived (children waking me up a lot during the night for example) I'm not recovering and feel a tiredness similar to what you describe.
Maybe try to a little more sleep before and after a hard workout.
