Absolutly energyless and lathargic today. Been cycling alot and did a brick workout two days ago, last night was spin class, weights ,abs/core . Supposed to swim tonight , not sure I wouldn't sink to the bottom. Any advice for these days ? Even Coffee won't help me today. Maybe I am not replacing enough fluids ?

What I do on a day like that is do an easy workout. Listen to your body, If it doesnt feel right...somethings not right (took me a while to find out) Drink plenty of fluids, and be sure to eat enogh.
-Hope this helps

Maybe more carbs? And, I agree with silent - your body could just be begging for rest. Rest really revitalizes! Hang in there!

Not sure exactly how to answer your question, but, basically your body can store 1800-2000 gms of carbs - so during a race that is why they have to be replaced every 45-60 minutes. Anyway, during training season, most people need 7-12 gms of carbs per kg of body weight. And you should do that on a daily basis to "keep the tank full" so to speak.

So for today, maybe fill up the tank and see what tomorrow brings! :-)

Let us know how tomorrow goes!
