short course/long course

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.

  • Originally posted by jim clemmons How were your early mornings? Your results looked good. Not bad at all. I was able to get to bed early enough that I felt well rested in the morning. I think the length of the meet got to me the last day, but overall I've got to be happy. Now time to start planning for next time :)
