Each time, in the three days following these training camps, the fatigue in my legs was intense and it was major work to run 30 minutes of flat pavement. Then, as the fatigue subsided my legs became full of energy and I began what I call, my surge. It is, quite simply, the best I have ever felt in my training life.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I worked myself up to that same place in 2008 but couldn't race. Guess I'll have to try again next year.<BR/><BR/>AJWAJWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04387120797582582699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-1487620598177053492008-11-18T08:23:00.000-09:002008-11-18T08:23:00.000-09:00It all depends what part of the fitness curve you'...It all depends what part of the fitness curve you're on. Building for an event I nearly always have the same sensations you mention. Fatigue can be intense but is always fleeting. <BR/><BR/>The flip side is coming down the backside of deep fatigue, like post GDR, GLR, or 7 day stage race. Muscle fatigue associated with being blown is tenatious!<BR/><BR/>Good luck in the big show.Dave Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199180181304602551noreply@blogger.com
