Think ive been training too hard and not resting enough.. been feeling dog tired at work, power is down on the bike.
Not sure if I should just keep on and hope I condition to regime or if I would be better dialing it back.
How did you find the right balance?
Doing about 2hrs+ a day.. mixture of running, gym, swim and bike thoughtout the week.Usal annihilating long ride at the weekend.
Try to mix it up as I suck at them all.
Might be im just not getting enough sleep tho as Im doing it all before and after work.
My coach likes to talk about periodisation, he advocates two weeks hard training then one week of easy so all the sessions still happen but done at lower intensity and duration, but in the real world this works around races for us, so the race is in the easy week and if there are three weeks between races then go for 3 weeks hard and then have an easy one etc....
Still doing as many sessions stops the feeling of craziness in a usual taper, and still leaves you fresh for racing....
Sleep is awesome too, and I've just discovered baths!
