The last time I swam was in mid-March. I train alone, usually 1500-2500, 3-4 times a week. I just turned 62. I was feeling in a good space, doing a masters personal best at just shy of 61 in my best event, even though I've started back at this at 54.
I've been doing resistance band training, yoga, and a mini-elliptical trainer, plus 125 pushups every day. However, my resting heart rate, which was down to low 60s (56/57 overnight), is now 70-ish.
Will I be able to get back to where I was, if/when the pools re-open, and if so, how long should it take.
Side note: will pools likely be safe? I live in Brooklyn, NY
Just a though here, but 125 push-ups every day could be the reason for the higher resting heart rate. Overtraining leads to higher rested BPM, and exercises that break down tissue like push-ups require 2 days or even more to repair and recover.
