Has anyone experienced fatigue as a side effect of Fish Oil supplementation? After each dose yesterday (3-4 caps) I felt a drowsiness, to the point when I wanted to go to sleep. Very odd for me and Fish Oil was the only thing I added. Seemed to be a direct correlation?

No fatigue.

Try it again every other day to see if it happens again.

As for me, if I don't use the enteric coated ones, I get stinky fish burps.

Why don't you try to lower the dose?

Try Udo's Oil instead. (of fish oil)

Regardless of how hard you train - The time is going to go by anyway so if you are going to throw a leg over your bike you may aswell bust you ass, make as many watts / do as many intervals as you can.

One thing that came to mind for a possible reason would be other anti-inflamatories or blood thinners that you may be taking. I had a blood clotting issue at one point (not clotting well) and the doctor felt it was due to a combination of asprin and fish oil. I can imagine on the more extream side some level of muscle weakness or fatigue.
