So, as a know-nothing-newbie, I decided that I should swim most days, but with very modest session totals. Lately I typically swim 1200m-2000m per session. (I love the idea of 10km per week!!)
I've wondered if I would be much better off with 3km+ sessions, but maybe 3-4 times per week?
The thing is - I love swimming daily, and I DO NOT LOVE being in the pool for over an hour. I'm doing what I love, but sometimes love is blind!! :)
I'd love to hear from experienced swimmers if you think that most days per week at modest volumes is a better recipe than fewer times per week at much higher volumes. Maybe it depends on how newbie you are? Maybe it depends upon what you are training for?
Thanks for any thoughts you may have on this. I appreciate it greatly.
That's exactly what I average; six days per week averaging 2,500/ day.
I love being in the pool daily, so I would rather go for more days with less yardage each day. In addition, I find that my body tolerates this recipe better than loading up the yardage in less days.
Do what makes you happy! :bliss:
