Veteran 305 Wichita Falls | Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed UUUUUUGH!!! Snowed in... the gym is closed and the roads are icy! I guess this is reason 7 to buy a treadmill and a bike trainer! I told the wife that I need a trainer and she asked how much (i told her $3-400), maybe I'll get her to sign off the purchase with end of year closeouts! |

I had a very strong start in January. But between work and being Sick I really haven't done much in the last two weeks. I am still on the mend and it looks like the end of next week will be the end of 12-16 hour work days. So Back on track after that. Numbers should have been almost double this. | |

I don't know if that's good or not, but there it is! Running still is not where I want it to be, but that will be better this month with the weather HOPEFULLY getting warmer, more time, and half-mary training starting! Sorry I've been a bit MIA. Life is happening! But I had a snow night tonight and I have a snow day tomorrow from school! | |

A friend here got a pretty good one for $80. x2. I got a CyclopsII trainer a few year ago for $75 on CL. Best $75 I ever spent (actually that my FIL spent, as he slipped me $100 one day and told me to buy something nice for myself -- trainer it was, ha ha!). Just paid it forward and gave it away to a friend whose triathlete hubby is recovering from testicular cancer. They wanted to do his-and-her trainer rides together, how sweet!! |

Expert 1037 Portland, OR | Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed I have two quick questions: 1) When swimming, should I be facing straight ahead or down at the line? 2) Should my body be rocking back and forth? I've started doing this recently, and it's a lot more comfortable, but I don't know if it's right. I'm feeling better on my swims. 900 yards tonight! I hope I can do it continuously soon. |

Elite 3395 Raleigh | Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed SoccerGK - 2011-02-01 7:55 PM I have two quick questions: 1) When swimming, should I be facing straight ahead or down at the line? I am assuming that you are asking which way your face should face. You do NOT want to face the way you are going in the (forward). You will have to do that when swimming in OW to sight, but when you do that your lower body drops in the water creating a lot of drag. Staring down in much better. 2) Should my body be rocking back and forth? I've started doing this recently, and it's a lot more comfortable, but I don't know if it's right. Yes. Turning your torso is good. I'm feeling better on my swims. 900 yards tonight! I hope I can do it continuously soon. JMTCW |

Turning your torso is good. I'm feeling better on my swims. 900 yards tonight! I hope I can do it continuously soon. JMTCW My answers: 1. It depends. While you don't want to be looking straight forward, some people find looking slightly in front of them provides better flotation. I am one of those people. 2. Rocking back and forth is too general. You don't want to overrotate so much your shoulders come completely out of the water OR you both goggles can be seen by someone at the side of the pool. I was taught overroation as a way to get air and I am having a tough time eliminating it now. If you do the side kick drill it will illustrate how much rotation you need. My two cents. |

Master 1539 Sin City | Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed SoccerGK - 2011-02-01 4:55 PM I have two quick questions: 1) When swimming, should I be facing straight ahead or down at the line? 2) Should my body be rocking back and forth? I've started doing this recently, and it's a lot more comfortable, but I don't know if it's right. I'm feeling better on my swims. 900 yards tonight! I hope I can do it continuously soon. Interesting replies from the others. I've learned to just tilt my head upwards just a little bit, 45 degrees. When I swim, I see the surface, as well as the line, but not completely horizontal. 2nd question is pretty much answered. If you're talking about rotation, that's the way you do it. I used to just swim straight and move my arms only. I was so frickin' slow (2:50 to 3:20 per meter). After I took some swim lessons (some gyms provide them for free), and learned how to rotate my body and hips, I was nearly a minute faster..you GLIDE in the water. :-) Good luck!!! :-) |

Master 1952 Guelph, Ontario | Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed In regards to swimming you should be basically looking at the bottom of the pool perhaps just a little bit ahead of you. Secondly rolling from side to side is good if you are doing it correctly. It allows one to remain as aerodynamic in the water as possible. Think of walking against the wind. If you turn sideways to the wind you can cut through it more easily. The same is true for swimming. The less resistance you present to the water going forward the faster you will go or the less energy it will take to go the same speed. In swimming the most important thing is technique. I think you will find that a lot of us on here have had at least a few lessons to get better. I'm sure Suzy, for one, can attest to the value of a good swim coach. She didn't get her name because she always swam like a fish. (sorry Suzy couldn't resist the little (hee hee) dig) |

Others already answered your questions. But as for volume. IT will come and it will come faster then you know. I went from 900 yards to over 2500 pretty quick. Glad your feeling better on your swims. Keep it up. I have missed swimming for over 2 weeks now and I really MISS it. |
