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?
I would have thought that brutal self-punishment in the pool entitles me to disregard any severe dietary restrictions out of the pool.
Wrong! Do not lie to yourself!
If it feels good, it is bad.
