Lately I am becoming more aware of (even if they are not more frequent) days when I step on the gas but the tank is empty. Those are the days when I want to put a bullet through the pace clock. I was wondering if anyone else notices the same thing, and if so what they do about it.

What about an extended period of sluggishness in the water? I'm getting much stronger in the weight room, but feel like a rock in the water. I've noticed this after I transitioned to doing more intensity and more fly in my workouts about 3 weeks ago. I expected to adapt by now, but the last few days I've had a really hard time. How long should it take to adapt from an aerobic type regimen to more of a power phase? I know this will vary, so assume the phase lasts 6 weeks; should you keep piling on the intensity or allow recovery within the six weeks. I wonder if I'm erring on the side of working hard vs working smart.
