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
This week is full of the unintended taper for me. I'm not sure why I thought I could work in moving into a new home, work, and my childrens' big schedule into the week before Big Shoulders, but here it is Tuesday evening, and I ain't been in the water since Saturday morning.
Oh well. Here's to looking at the seaweed on the bottom and the Hancock Tower and not worrying about my time. Does carrying boxes of books count as training?
