I ask the question because when I returned to the pool last month after a three week taper for scm zones, I was swimming faster in practice than I had in decades. Now I cannot hold the same pace that seemed almost effortless just a week ago. So do I tough it out as usual until it's time to taper again, or do I schedule recovery weeks throughout the season?
Last night at practice, my brain was just not into it! I mentally pulled out in the middle of a set of 4 x 500. When I started up again my stroke was slow , even by my standards.
