Recently though i've struck out. Maybe the fault isn't mine though. Maybe it is that the information i'm looking for just doesn't exist. Maybe these hyper intense short workouts have led me to break new ground - experiencing things never before experienced. Occum's razor though, suggests otherwise. While i suppose it is theoretically possible that i'm boldly going where no man has gone before it is rather more likely that i'm just not all i thought i was cracked up to be, google-wise.
Alright - lets get to the point (this is where i need your help). My stationary bike workouts are so debilitating that i feel crippled afterwords. Immediately after finishing my last interval i usually slam the resistance down to zero, spinning for 30-45 seconds as my heart rate drops from just shy of 200 back to more sustainable levels. I usually think i'm going to be ok, even though i should know better by now.
How it feels those first minutes... |
10 minutes later all is well - the pain is gone, strength has returned. the next day there is never any soreness (it's an 8 minute workout after all) or negative effects.
All the info i seem to find is related to DOMS - delayed onset muscle soreness, which i'm familiar with but is something very different.
So i'm asking for help. Thoughts? anyone else have similar experiences?
Sounds like a case of under-recovering.. Maybe you're overdue for a nice massage.
ReplyDeleteThere is a 14 year old professional swimmer named Michael Andrew who reportedly trains with ultra short race pace efforts. He is coached by his father. If you look for some stuff about him and his training methods, there might be some information about it.
