Hi All,
By now I'm sure you've all heard me praise how great it is to be back after 10 years off...so this note is a little different.
How does one know if the shoulders are just sore, or if there is an onset of injury (like tendonitus)?
And, when swimming front quadrant, how far should the hand reach toward the wall? In TI it recommends reaching really far out, which I've been doing, and consequently really reaching out exagerating the shoulder. Maybe I shouldn't do this?
Thanks for any advice--I don't want to be out before I even have a chance to start!
Best,
Jerrycat :confused:

Thanks for the feedback. The milage I've been doing is about 2000-2600 per swim, which I've built up to during the past 8 weeks. And, really I think it's the "modern" breaststroke technique that is making me sore...the shrugging shoulders part of it. So, we'll see what happens as I take your recommendations. I think I'm fine, but am just a little overly cautious becuase swimming is my last option to race due to other injuries in other sports. I don't want to ruin it.
Have a wonderful day! ;)
