With the Half Marathon on Saturday, I had moved my 1 swim session to Wednesday this week. Wednesday sessions are endurance sessions, and typically have been okay for me. However, this one took a tremendous amount out of me.
While I was swimming straighter, and thus going a bit faster, I think the continued 200s just took their toll on me. Usually, I’m good to go after a 30-60 minute nap post-workout. But after that one, it took me close to two hours to get to a passable awakens, and I was dragging all day.
As tiring as that was, I know it’s just one more step towards getting better. And that it’ll get easier and less draining as time goes on. Onward and upward…
