Sometimes after our workouts I feel completely wiped. (I refer to this as "blowing a gasket"). It's all I can do to drag myself to the car and drive home, which is luckily not very far. Usually it's a sprint workout that will do it. Let's just say that it makes it hard to get work done the rest of the day... Does this happen to anyone else? Any suggestions, other than "don't swim as hard," which seems to be defeat the reason why I am there in the first place? (It doesn't seem to me that I am swimming harder than anyone else).
I saw this on my phone (email) and had to log back in really quick to make sure I could answer this:
I had the exact same problem for my first 2 months of swimming. After I started a consistent core regimen with my dryland - the nausea went away. Turns out my core was over compensating during swimming. Strengthening it has allowed me to eat within an hour of practice and feel much better.
Thank you -- that's another good suggestion. I'll give that a try, too.
