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
I'm doing the Gatorman on Sunday and plan on swimming at the Cove on Saturday as well. Let me know if you'd like to join in.I'll be there, but not sure what time exactly. I'm ferrying along some kids, so will probably be splashing around with them for a bit. Mostly, I'm just going to try to see if I can acclimate to the cold water -- reading is 66 degrees today.
