This week has been so humid it’s not even funny. It wasn’t even that hot, like 26 degrees max or something. But the 80% humidity slapped me in the face. Every movement I did made me sticky.
Anyway, it hasn’t stopped me from going at it. I did my strength exercises and my runs, and I’m starting to look more muscular than when I started after my three week holiday.
I did have a problem with fatigue this week. Despite eating and getting my macro’s in, my body struggles to repair itself. I even didn’t feel like working out at one point. I’m glad I did, though.
Anyone else experienced this before? And do you have any tips to combat it, maybe?
You know what it might be my sleep. Last two weeks have been a bit more rough because of humidity, football matches, whatever. Is this what getting old is like lol? I remember the days where I could just not sleep and be fine.
Anyway, it’s weekend now, and I can sleep 8+ hours finally.
My guess is its may be just as much aging as it is having additional responsibilities and stresses. These things wear you out and require sleep to repair, even if the damage isn’t muscular (I’m guessing there may be build up of bad chemicals in the brain and maybe some neuron damage that only sleep can eliminate and repair). Then you add in the physical damage from working out and if you add all these things together, if you come up short on sleep eventually I think you just hit a wall where your body says no more.
