Subject: RE: Noob swimmer: sanity check As you said, you have only been swimming for a few months. With all your doing you’re probably sore all over. No worries, keep up the good work. You’re going to get sore as you build up your skills. Make time to get to a masters swim session and a good coach. Bad stroke usually just makes you slow, not sore, but it can happen. At the end of your swim workout when you are a tiny bit sore, is the best time to work your stroke. Also limit your wall time between sets. Keep your heart rate up through out your swim workout. Nobody does himself or herself a favor when they bust out a 100 yards under a minute and then sit on the wall for the next 10 minutes. Keep adding the distance to your workouts over time. If your training 2X the distance of your event, the event will be a breeze even if the course in measured long. Cheers and keep up the good work |
