You ever feel guilty about not doing anything? That's how I feel on my rest days. I feel like that I need to be doing something...anything physical! But I know it's necessary for recovery and to prevent burnout. Burning out is a major concern for me, especially now because I'm at the point in my training where I need to increase my volume. And because I'm old!! It takes me just a little longer to recover from hard workouts, and I need an extra day of recovery here and there. But it also feels like that I can't get enough done in one week to accomplish my training goals. Therefore, a guilty complex! A common problem for triathlets from what I've heard. I'm contemplating on experimenting with 10 day training blocks so I can accomplish my training goals.
Next week I back off the volume for some quality testing to see where I'm at. Hopefully, my fitness has improved from my last tests. If not, I'll have to reevalute my training plan. Possibly going to the 10 day block that I mentioned above. Just 83 days left until St. George!!
