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.
Do not force yourself to swim longer if you don't like it!!!!!!
Some swimmers like the peace & quiet of long swim times.
Make it fun & worthwhile for YOU.
