I added wrong! I've been swimming 14,000 yards per week for the last 15 years, not 30,000! :afraid:I recently hit 60 and have begun to wonder if my times would improve if I did less yards and incorporated more quality workouts in. Since I have a bit of OCD, I would like your input for those 50 and over. How many yards a week do you put in?
Isn't swimming great! There is something for everyone it seems.
Everyone on this thread seems to be doing the perfect yardage, race pacing, easy swimming, etc for them at this moment in time.
And that's as it should be IMO.
I'm doing about 21000 yards pw at the moment - good distance training for the summers open water events - good pace changes within to help with early season competitions - no dives as shoulder injury not quite improved enough - great company in public sessions (5 or 6 times a week) - one club session (good change of pace time) a week until shoulder improves further
But thats NOW. I know things will change and adapt as my 62 yo body lets me know how I feel at any point in time.
