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
Do whatever has worked for you in the past. 20k/week avg. is certainly plenty to taper from. Rest is the key. Sleep in a little more, swim less and enjoy the recovery time. You've earned it.
