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.
Hey, Jim. No, I haven't been eating anything beforehand since I swim so damn early in the morning because of work. Maybe I should.
I'm up an hour (4:30) before workout starts (5:30am) and down a banana and a few dried apricots. It's not much but it replenishes muscle glycogen that depletes while you're sleeping. You may not feel like eating but you need to ignore that and eat something anyway. And give it some time (4 weeks or so) for your body to get used to it.
