Re: I think I'm burnt out, now what?
Actually I am figuring that the I will feel a bit blocked for the first few rides, and am planning on ramping up gradually over a few rides.
Thanks for all you're invaluable advice. I will keep posting how I feel into next week. Today (Thursday) is my 4th day off the bike and I still feel tired. I've been sleeping like a rock. I figure I'm definately on the right track. |

For anyone paying attention, this is a great example of how important it is to have all the data in PMC if you want it to be a useful tool. My "diagnosis" probably would have been at least in the ball park if the data originally given was accurate. |

Re: I think I'm burnt out, now what?
Just a quick update, I rode a couple of times this past weekend, and definately feel some "snap" back in my legs. I took it very easy, averaging around 210 to 220 watts for the rides, which is high recovery low endurance levels, yesterday I did a few small bursts to see and it felt good.
The lesson I am going to take from this is more recovery is needed. My answer to feeling tired and slow was to work harder, which in turn made me slower. I should have spotted this much quicker, but luckily (so far) I should be able to work back up to a good level fairly quickly (sst training).and be ready for my next stretch of races, which don't start until the beginning of August. Once again I would really like to thank you guys for all the help, especially jbvcoaching and beerco. It's a place like this that helps newbies like me learn so we can get stronger/smarter as we get older. Thank you Scott Coulas |

Re: I think I'm burnt out, now what?
For me, usually, when my mind tries to give me excuses not to race or train in a particular day.
 I know I would be in need of some recovery. Quote:

Re: I think I'm burnt out, now what?
A little update, did some SST on Tuesday night, and then last night did my usual Wednesday fun race. Felt good off the start, put in a few good efforts, including a couple of sprints. Definately have some jump back in the legs, although I did tire out before the end.
Like jbv said, I'm trying to be positive and not get down over this. Going to take a couple of days off and then do some SST over the weekend, and start my build for the second half of the season. |
