Subject: RE: Training Times My strength is running and I've just adapted the kind of training I use for running - a varied combination of workouts - to swimming. So I do some long swims - 1000 m or more at a time - where I don't even think about how fast I'm going. And I do some more intense workouts - 50s, 100s, 200s or 400s - where I shoot to do each interval in a goal time. Sometimes I'll do these as a series of repeats at one distance, and sometimes I'll mix up a few different length intervals. Occasionally if I'm trying to practice a new skill (I'm trying to learn to breathe bilaterally right now ), I throw in a few laps where I just drill on that technique.
Like I said, I'm originally a runner, so maybe someone with some real swimming experience might have some more specific tips for you. |
