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).
Try some chocolate milk after your workout. The milk has protein to help your muscles recover and the chocolate portion provides sugar for energy.
I'll second this. Chocolate milk seems to work well for me.
Sometimes I'm so spent after a hard workout, I'll shut the door to my office at work and take a nap for a while. I sure hope my boss doesn't read this board, btw. lol
