I’m in the third week of my first build block for 2012 & the fatigue is hitting me nicely. I’m ready & recovered for each hard session but afterwards I’m sleepy & knackered. Dropping the volume & increasing the intensity is tiring me out. Zzzzz.
Next week will be an easy week, and I’ve already seen gains over the last few weeks, but hopefully after a good handful of days of solid recovery my fitness will bounce on again.
I’ll keep an eye on my training stress numbers on trainingpeaks.com & see how they move around. My TSS seems to be staying higher than last year after the base training phase, probably because I couldn’t run much in 2011.
Talking of recovery & being tired, I got home from work today & I couldn’t even lie on the sofa as Annabel had wee’d on it!
