Workout Journal Notes

Since this was low-intensity week anyway, I wanted to test something out.

My hardest/heaviest workouts are usually on Friday, then I go to speed camp the very next morning, usually less than 12 hours later.

I’ve been steadily improving my endurance ever since I started speed camp several months ago, but I’m just curious if I will notice a marked improvement in my strength and stamina tomorrow, having taken a full rest day today.

If it feels about the same, then I will continue the same schedule I’ve been using, but if I do feel a big difference, I’ll tweak some things to allow for maximum output in every workout, including speed camp.
