When you are tired, how do you know when you need to continue your daily practices or if you should take a day off? Is your resting heart rate a good guide? This was not an issue when we were younger! :rolleyes:

I can tell when I need to take days off when I just feel horrible. Like when I do a set of 100's and I am going 6 seconds slower than yesterday. I have no real evidence to back this up, but I think when you feel really bad in the water, you need to do more low threshold aerobic work. Do a long main set with really moderate intervals. Don't spend a lot of time on the wall, just swim easier.
