So, for the next two months or so I am going to be limited (due to time) to only 1 practice per week (2 if I can get lucky).
I had been training 3-4 times per week, 3500-4500 yard in 1.5 hours.
Basically, I am looking for ideas to maximize that 1 practice. My main concern is keeping up endurance for mid-diatance freestyle...my race specialty. I was thinking some interval work, so I can keep track of my progress (or regress as I fear). Also, should have some time to supplement with a few days of "dry land" training.
try to squeeze that second time in somewhere if possible. Even 15min in the water will get you more benefit than only swimming once a week.
My main concern would be the feeling in the water if you only get to swim once a week. You will feel like you haven't swam in months (at least that's how I feel).
If you can add dry land training, especially since you are home in the distance freestyle, your form should be fine over the next couple of months. The only thing that will suffer is how you feel in the water, but that will come back quickly if you keep training (on or off land)
