My trouble is this: I work overnights, 11pm-7am. How many hours should I keep between workouts? What constitutes a 'day'? How does rearranging days affect the overall plans?
I've been doing tri's for 4 years now and finished IM MOO last year, but I've had limited success. My trouble is this: I work overnights, 11pm-7am, and have been since I started doing tri's. This can really gum up the works.
How many hours should I keep between workouts? What constitutes a 'day'? Is it the sleep in between workouts that is most important for recovery or a solid period of time elapsed including sleep? For example, if I do a long run in the evening, go to work, and then sleep for 2-4 hours before I get bounced out of bed due to daytime 'noise', should I do my next day's workout after only 10 or 12 hours, rather than 24, to make sure I get it in? Also, how does rearranging days affect the overall plans?
