Has anyone else ever felt bummed out by a bad workout? By missing an interval you know you can make (that you've made before) ...by being unusually tired...by nearly puking and having to rest at the wall for part of a set...
Sometimes a bad time in the pool will just hang over my day like a cloud. I can't seem to shake the feelings that I should have done better...and I don't know why.
Anyone else gone through this...or have tips to cope with it?
I'm sure we've all gone through it. It's tough. About the only thing you can do is try to stay positive. Maybe you can work more on technique and just feel good about holding your stroke together through a tough set. If you look hard enough there's a positive in every practice.
Of course, the ultimate vindication is when you have a great practice. Yes, maybe it's going to take a while for you, being injured and all, but just stay positive that that day will come. Keep at it and do the things well that you're capable of doing well right now.
