When swimimg I'd assume most people have "off days" and "on days". During the on days you may feel smooth, relaxed, strong, and that your stroke is technically sound. The off days you may feel sluggish, tight, tired, weak, slow, and your stroke feels sloppy. My question is, can someone standing on deck see the differences in your stroke from one day to the next or is it all in the swimmers head?
I agree, if you're feeling especially tired and your stroke is falling apart you should alter the workout or get out. Although like you mention you shouldn't be doing this on a regular basis.
The problem I have is that I don't know if my stoke is truely deteriorating because I am tired or if it just feels that way and would look the same to someone on deck as it did yesterday when I felt better.
