I'm going through a patch with work where I'm getting much less water time that I'd like. In point of fact it's the least I have been able to swim the past 25 years. When I'm traveling it's insane and difficult to get meals let alone exercise.
So, this isn't me looking for a reason or justification to swim less, but perhaps a way to get the best performance I can out of my decreased yardage.
Historically I have been around 5 swims and 20K. Now I'm looking at 3 at best, but even with those I cannot just double my yardage to make up for it. These are 'yea baby free hour sprint to pool while I can' many times.
50-100 fly/free
200 free
Thanks all

Just 6 - 13 K each week, with 6-8 sessions in the water, and work to rest ratio from 1:3 to 2:3 (rest as in stationary inactivity and not recovery or drill swimming, though my aerobic swims may qualify as such to others). Swimming often supplimented with a good amount, and variety of dryland stuff. Target races for me is 50 and, I daresay, 25 fr and strokes.
Steve if you'd feel up to sharing any of your workouts in detail I'd be very grateful. Just to look them over and see since I'm so green at planning my own. I really don't like the 200 and have come to love short stuff. If it's up to me it will be 50/100 fly free!
