Recovery Period

This week has been somewhat hectic with work and travel. Normally, I swim 5-6 days a week for an 1-1/2 to 2 hours. This week, I have only been able to manage about 30 minutes to 45 minutes at a time. A few days, my body just hasn't been able to get up and go. So, this I decided to use my limited time to swim with good form and let this week become a recovery week. Keeping my feel for the water, letting my body recover and just enjoy what little time I get in the water. Do any of you do recovery days/weeks? Do you see anything wrong with doing a week like mine? Esp. since outside influences have changed my normal routine. Any input/advice is most welcomed! Thanks in advance. John

  • Thank you for the information and advice, not a bore at all. I had been out of it for a while(swimming) and this really helps. Although I know each person will taper differently, this gives me something to work from. I had only known what I had done in the past which doesn't fit what I'm doing now. I owe you a cold one at the beer garden if you hit Nationals.
