A lot of athletes were pretty tired yesterday during the work-out. Complaints of very sore muscles, no pick-up, and out-of-shapeness were all hard. Let me try and explain why you felt that way. Because it was expected.
We are in a "trough" cycle of our training. That means we are in a training cycle where our legs are tired and a little broken down. On the inside, our muscles are spending most of their energy getting stronger and recovering, not spending that energy to go fast. In addition, a lot of us had a good long weekend of rest, with little running, which further caused our legs to feel "dead."
So, if you felt this way during Thursday's work-out, relax, don't worry about it! It was a work-out designed to try and snap some life back into your legs. Many of you "broke through" and felt better as the work-out went along. That is great!! All of you will feel fast today, which is even better!
But, prepare to get your butts kicked in Speedball today!!!
