Several of my athletes have started to feel "tired" and their performance during the week is lacking their enthusiasm. Why and what to do? Think back to when you started training....Nov 2007....that was 6 whole months ago. That is a long time to stay focused and work extremely hard. Especially since anaerobic workouts (which are mentally and physically draining) have been in practice now for 1-2 months. A trained athlete cannot keep up this momentum...even the strongest ones that can handle a large workload. Time to fully rest and then transition to the next part of your season. Rest doesn't mean working on the house or staying up late partying. Be lazy. Sleep in on Saturday and Sunday. When was the last time you took a nap on the weekend? This is a great investment into the second part of your season and even higher peak fitness than the first part.
