Subject: I BETTER get better at swimmingI'm biting the bullet and getting serious about swimming, which is by far, my biggest limiter. I haven't improved much in the past year, but then again, I was doing very limited swimming up to now (about 6000yards /wk ) . I did, however, have my form checked out (good to go for intervals ) by coaches, and recently upgraded from a depressingly dirty and dingy indoor 20 yard pool to a long-course 50 meter pool which makes swimming 1000x more enjoyable. Am going with "Swim workouts in a Binder" - have been using it for the past 3 weeks and love it. I've been doing a lot of the long endurance workouts which are 2800-3200meters at a time. Cranked out 12,000 meters this week and will try to creep toward 15000. If I don't get any better at swimming after 2 months of this, I'm gonna go duathlon! (Just kidding! ) My shoulders are definitely feeling the beat-down - whew! |
