HOLA everyone! :D Hope that you're all doing great. SO here's my question and PLEASE send me some input about it...
Sometimes when I do my workouts I get a lot of energy and other times I feel like I am about to pass out in the 200mts. Why is it so?? I try to concentrate on my breathing and still I get tired after each distance (more than 200mts). Does it have to do with nutrition or is it simply that one day or the other our bodies do not give that much energy?
Hope to hear from you guys...:p

aschueler - I'm with you. For me morning swims are tough and evenings are great. I drag myself to do some morning swims just because most swim meets like to start at around 8 AM.
I've found diet has a great deal to do with it. I find days I eat good carbs that helps get me through with energy. There once was a thread on this forum asking what people ate prior to meets. A few mentioned oatmeal. I've found that works great as an energy sustaining food.
I think every person has their own ups/downs with energy. Almost every workout I do, my first 500 to 800 meters I feel horrible. Once I push past that point I start to feel the energy kick in to keep me going.
