I always forget about this thread.
Ive been working through 6 day training blocks with a full day of each week. yesterday was kettlebell and pull-ups.
Today will be intervals on my rowing machine.
Im making sure to try to listen to my body, if I start a workout and I'm fatigued and sore in the first minutes, I have no problem bagging it and calling it my rest day. In the past when I was racing I'd push through heavy fatigue but it would accumulate to the point where my hard workouts weren't hard enough because eI was tired then my easy workouts would be too hard to really be "easy" workouts. Pedaling through 100 mile bike rides with dead legs is a sure way for me to kill my performance.
Saturday I got on my trainer for a 15k session with some intervals and realized within the first minutes that it wasn't going to happen so I pulled the plug, called it a rest day and had an amazing workout on Sunday.
