I'm a 10 yearish swimmer with a group that does interval training. I generally do 2000-2500 yards 2-3 days a week. I have recently started doing some open water swims (2-3 a summer, 1 mile up to a 5K). In the past have done a spin class 2 days a week. But am location-challenged on getting to a gym so started running on 2 off days and doing some weights at home. But since have started running really feel slow in the pool. Thinking I should put running off until the openwater season over for me (Nov.) Any suggestions for a muscle confusion, cardio workout to compliment swimming?
What are non-swimming days? :)
Yeah, I hear ya! I love swimming six days/ week :bliss:! And, the only reason I don't swim seven is that I know my body needs rest. But, on Sundays... :bitching: . So, last Sunday, I went down to the pool anyway, grabbed a noodle :afraid:, hopped into the outdoor pool (I train in the indoor pool), and floated around for awhile. :ohyeah:
