Feeling exhausted after workouts?

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).

  • Hey Michael, where did you find this recipe? It sounds awesome! I just may have to add dark chocolate chips to mine, though. :D P.S. How much, exactly, is a scoop? Is that about 1/4 cup? 1 scoop == 1/3rd cup. Usually if you buy any protein (I recommend Gold Standard by Optimum Nutrition - its 100% pure whey, no additives) they come with a standard sized scoop in there. Honestly - I found the recipe online. I needed protein bars and I didn't feel like paying for them. Also - I wouldn't personally add in the chocolate, only because with the oatmeal in there - you're already getting enough carbs and with the peanut butter you're already getting enough fats.
