Why is it I can do 3600 yards comfortably, but it is a supreme struggle to manage 2500 meters? I can't believe the walls make THAT much difference. I know that part of it is psychological, but my leg cramps last night were not in my head! Since switching over this week, I only did 1600m Mon, 1800m Tu, 2100m Thurs and 2500m this morning. I imagine part of my exhaustion is that I tapered for Ynats, but I always feel this way about long course.
I love long course but when we switch over, like we did a few weeks ago, it always takes me several weeks for my body to get used to it. I think last year, when we first switched, I was doing 100 free on the 1:45 and down to 1:30 by the end of the season. Give it some time and it will get easier.
