I am wondering if anyone has noticed a correlation between type of workout and what kind of mood they are in afterward. Sometimes when we get over-the-top kick sets I end up feeling totally drained, and not in a good way. Often when we do a sprint oriented workout I feel really pumped afterward, even if I got nauseous while swimming. After a long slow distance workout I'll be totally exhausted, but in a good way. Sometimes I'm so tired I can barely lift my arms to shampoo my hair but I feel great, last night I just wanted to be put out of my misery.
Do you find that certain types of workouts put you in certain types of moods?
when i miss a workout....i'm miserable
When I miss a workout or exercise ... I'm an ogre.
Engine-building workout: exhausted, possible shoulder pain, possible boredom if it's mostly free, but possible endorphine high too
"Serial" workout with lots of stroke changes and interesting sets/drills/kicking in 50, 75s, 100s and 150s: great! tired too.
Sprint workouts: great! tired too.
Early morning workouts: forget it, death
I don't like cramps either SwimStud. And because I'm always overusing my leg muscles with running and kicking, I get them. Ouch.
Unlike that stud, Kristina, I could push through pain better as a kid. Now, like Matt, I worry a bit about the arms falling off.
