You may be able to solve the mystery as to why my body has gone from nearly the best it's ever been to absolutely rubbish. My recent activities are as follows:
30 Oct: OD race
31 Oct: Rest
01 Nov: morning swim, morning MTB, afternoon swim, afternoon road ride. Total 7.5km swim, 3 hours riding
02 Nov: AM/PM swim (6.5km), 50km easy ride
03 Nov: 3.4km swim, 83km TT ride
04 Nov: 1.5km swim (sore shoulder), 2 hour intervals ride
05 Nov: 130km ride
06 Nov: 43km TT ride
07 Nov: rest
08 Nov: 1.6km swim (easy due to shoulder), 4x1km run intervals
09 Nov: 2.2km swim, 19km TT ride, 6.5km run
10 Nov: 2.6km swim, 65km ride
11 Nov: 2.6km swim, 4km run TT, 75km hard ride
12 Nov: 2.8km swim
13 Nov: brick session - 100km ride, 15km run
14 Nov: 3.0km swim, 1 hr hill repeats (ride), 8km easy run (was actually hard)
15 Nov: 3.0km swim
16 Nov: rest
17 Nov: 5x2km run intervals
18 Nov: 2.4km swim - went on Holidays this day
19 Nov: 3.0km swim
20 Nov: 3.0km swim
21-25 Nov: Nothing
26 Nov: attempted 1km intervals which failed
27 Nov: 11km run - very slow
28 Nov: 4km tempo run
29 Nov: rest
30 Nov: 11km run - slow - return from holiday
01 Dec: nothing
02 Dec: nothing
03 Dec: 4km TT
Based on the above I feel I have done virtually nothing for 3 weeks which is why I am so confused as to why my body is shutting itself down. The period I was on holidays for from 18 Nov - 30 Nov it was much hotter and much more humid like I said but also I was not eating properly at all. I was having very late nights and still getting up relatively early. Probably average about 6 hours sleep per night.
I have still been going to bed late for the last couple of nights but hopefully I can change that now.
I am now in a cooler, less humid climate with a shagged body. I weigh about 1kg heavier than I was but I look fatter (IMO), feel fatter and less healthy and basically need to get back into my diet and proper training. Need a massive body detox! and I need to stop burning the candle from both ends!!!
What are your thoughts?
