When I used to run, some days were awesome, some were tough. Sometimes when I swim 4 days straight, I get better. Today I felt sloppy, no rhythm on freestyle, hips were tired. Ugghh. Does anyone else experience that? Do you plug on through or cut it short? I'm betting most get through the workout.
I sometimes wonder if my issues are mental in part. On days that I feel crappy (tired, not in the mood to treck to the cold pool on a cold day) I end up having awesome swims. Other times, when I feel excited to swim, I'm hugely disappointed in the workout. Not always, but often.I do understand this. In workouts, I tend to worry less about how I feel, but, when it comes to competition, I often have to remind myself that how I feel won't necessarily translate into how I perform.
