I'm feeling it. The sluggish feeling you get when your body tells you, "um, excuse me, do we really need to work out again?" I have worked out 14 days in a row now. I don't consider this to be too much. Right now the volume of each workout, especially the runs are low. The mileage is still only about 1/3 of what it will be in a month or so. So maybe I do have a hard workout day but it's followed by a nice 3 miler with an added mile of walking tacked on.
But this morning in spin I could feel that my body was tired. My legs a bit sore from my hilly fast 3 miler yesterday. My transverse ab dominis still a bit tweaked from last Wed training class. My neck muscles tight. We hit AT right off the bat and the class was an aerobic endurance day. Well I decided that I do plenty of aerobic endurance. So after hitting my AT of 154 today I kept it 10 beats below whatever zone we were supposed to be in. What I thought would be a somewhat easy class turned into a sweat pouring, puddle on the floor workout. Another sign the body is tired and working harder than usual to keep a certain pace.
I'll make an effort today to take it easy. Eat well and hopefully if there is someone in my corner, a good nights sleep. Because tomorrow is not a rest day nor are the next 6. As the mileage increases I will probably have to back off on a swim or spin during the week just to get a day of rest. But for now all systems are go. Other than feeling tired and a bit sore I'm eager to keep going.
