The mind is a powerful thing, and sometimes even if the body is willing, preconceived negativity toward the workout can overpower the body's willingness. <br /><br />I would also agree with the "shock the body" a few days out from a race. Well, to some extent at least. Possibly chalk it up to semantics, but "shock" seems too strong. I would say you need to "jolt" the body. Intensity during taper... muy importante.IANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557276386970001849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094795967496026200.post-3986950461503647352012-04-17T10:55:24.714-07:002012-04-17T10:55:24.714-07:00Humm... that is somewhat of a mystery but I also ...Humm... that is somewhat of a mystery but I also believe that our bodies are so much more responsive than we give them credit for sometimes. I don't think recovery has to look the same for everyone. My massage guy ran his best races after a full night shift at a machine shop. He said he felt more "warmed up". Sometimes you need sweets.. I'm sorry, but I do sometimes. Lastly, I wish we lived closer so we could run around all short and speedy together.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011877903011515061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094795967496026200.post-33878493772219967512012-04-15T17:57:26.979-07:002012-04-15T17:57:26.979-07:00whoa I love the food pics. yumm!!
totally agreed, ...whoa I love the food pics. yumm!!<br />totally agreed, the more rested I am, the worse I do in a race for sure! I used to have my best swim workouts in high school when I was so hung over that the entire pool was spinning lol... I had a bad kid phase :) BUT I learned that early on sometimes the best training days come when you least expect it! glad you are feeling so awesome! I agree with beth, yummy food= improved performanceLibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060873827797823041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094795967496026200.post-58558104752849288472012-04-13T15:59:37.570-07:002012-04-13T15:59:37.570-07:00I can't believe you ate all of that!

Nutrition in a half. What do you need a GU?? 2??? You said you nailed the nutrition and still cramped... That seemed weird to me. <br /><br />No words of wisdom, but watching from the sidelines as a fan. :) <br /><br />xoStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13269380609808381980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094795967496026200.post-52542979288390141332012-04-13T14:51:01.919-07:002012-04-13T14:51:01.919-07:00Do I see a connection between the good workouts an...Do I see a connection between the good workouts and the banana split/pastry/bread pudding??? At least that's the connection I would like to make!! :)<br /><br />I also have the thing where I feel worse the first 30 minutes of every workout as I get fit. Less fresh but more fit right?! :)<br /><br />Have a great weekend Kiet!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247635973514495690noreply@blogger.com
