STRENGTH: 60 mins of xfit, WOD was 'boxing'--1 min at each station with 1 min rest after 3 stations, rotating through all 10 stations 3 times. I usually go all out here, but today I kept focused on form and being able to finish all reps without hurting. Hopefully, the burn won't be too strong later.
SWIM: 60 mins, 1.022 miles mostly drills, kicks, and other swim strokes. I was damned tired for this, only had a bottle of Cytomax/Perp (1 scoop each, not bad!) and some dried fruit before xfit and so I was damned hungry too!! Perfect way to slow me down and have me focus on form, as I was not up to long sets. 200S, 200K, 200P, 200K as WU. Then 3x300 as 100 free, 100 other, 100 free, then CD.
I went to bed early last night dog-tired (scully-dog tired!) but slept poorly. I kept waking up every hour or so. Now usually this is a sign of over-training, can I really be over-trained? Not likely, but it is a reminder to stay in the aerobic HR zones for the time being and not push paces all the time. There is a fine line with all this--you feel so good and excited to be training that you go fast with dreams of PR glory and fantastic finishes. On the other side of the line is over-trained--you feel so tired you don't even want to walk to your car at the end of the day. This was me yesterday. But this tired feeling is also addicting, it's rewarding in its own way. You're tired because you worked hard, and working hard feels good!!
