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.
Hi Gull!
It is true....you should replenish your calories within 30 minutes after your workout. If you wait longer than that it will be less effective and you will feel it in your next workout.
On sunday night I clean and cut lots of fruit, buy yogurt(it's portable), and stock up on whole grain bread/peanut butter/jelly. I keep this stash in my office at work and try to eat after swimming hungry or not. Lots of times I don't feel hungry but then get hungry after I start eating.
