How soon after I start back swimming is it a good idea to do my first swim LT test? I don't think I want to do it on my first trip back to the pool, but I want to do it fairly soon to get a baseline for where I am at fitness-wise. And, then how often should I repeat the LT test? Great question Shaun! Sorry for the delay in answering. I went to the Globetrotters with Matt tonight! I would say give it 2 to 3 weeks of swimming 3 times a week. You should start to feel pretty good in the water before your LT test. A baseline from point 0 doesn't tell you much, it will just depress you.  I hope all is well with you and your training!! BTW - I LOVE THE AVATAR!!! |
