I always struggle with the concept of how much I should rest before an ow race. I've been averaging 20,000 meters per week since June 1. I am feeling beat up and burnt out. I am a 55 year old female doing a 5K next saturday (1 week away) I did 4,000 today but I'm taking tomorrow off.
Would someone give me a specific rest/taper for this week PLEASE. I always himmm and haww around and get antsy and unsure about my rest or lack of. Some people have told me I don't swim enough to taper but why am I so tired. Any help on this will be appreciated!! :bow:
Thanks,
Bob
Holy cow! Yes! Slow down!
I would suggest decreasing by about 500-750 a day with a complete day off the day before.
Stop taking stairs, start taking baths with scented candles.
Take this week to really treat yourself nice. Assuming this is the race you want to be the fastest race of the year.
