I felt restless last night, not because anything was on my mind or because I had worries etc…. just plain and simply because I hadn’t done anything that day. I was knackered and had had a busy day at work and with my sensible head on knew that I should be having a rest. So why then did it bug me so much ?
I just relaxed, watched the tv and basically chilled out. Got to get over this guilty feeling I get when I don’t train.
Obsessed me…….never!
Restless………definitely !
IronHolgs : The musings of a COLT Ironman 
I know what you mean – I hate the so called rest days – I tend to find myself doing stretches or somat to make up for it! Daft isn’t it. To be honest, I’m dreading the weeks straight after the event – you’ll be busy getting married of course, but what the heck are the rest of us gonna do with our time – especially the first week!
You need to find something to keep you amused whilst you rest…
Knitting ? Crochet ? Wild passion (You’re not married yet !)
Agree, You do feel “naughty” when you don’t train and have a night off
Well thats four of us that feel the same way then! I do feel really bad when I haven’t been out and exercised….but rest is very important given the amount of training we do so I guess it’s the mindset we need to change and not to worry about it.
I was thinking about after The Big Woody – will be very strange having all that time freed up and will take a bit od adjustment.
We could all meet up for a knitting or crochet or wild passion training weekend away?
Am thinking of doing the Sand Key Triathlon in Florida, have already made enquiries about hiring a racing bike.
Always one has to take things to extreme…
Says the guy who has looked into Western Australia Ironman !
Back to the training.. Quality not Quantity.
There has to be a reason why all the training schedules have rest days built in.
You can’t expect decent results when you are knackered
