Hey all. Sorry to be so questiony lately, but you're the best swimming advice resource I know. Anyway . . .
As I mentioned in my getting out early thread, I recently joined a new team. However, my great joy in being able to swim four days a week meant I went from between 3,000 and 5,000 yards per week to something like 12,000 to 14,000 with no increments. As a result, I would up swimming badly and finally getting out one day.
My new team is on hiatus till Spetember now, so I'll be back at 3000-5000 till then, with one full week off. Given the workout possibilities below, what kind of progression would you suggest if I want to eventually do 12,000-14,000 yds., Mon to Thurs? (I'll ask my coach in Sept., but I like lots of opinions.)
Mon: 1500-2500 yds.
Tues: 1500-2500 yds.
Weds: 3000-3500 m.
Thurs: 5000-5500 yds.
Sat: 3000-3500 m.
Sun: 4000-5000 m.
I don't want to swim Saturday and Sunday mornings forever, but I'm willing to do so for a month or two if it will make getting to my goal schedule easier.
Thanks again for all your expertise.
I can't do it by day. Or rather, I don't want to. If I'm going to show up for a practice, I want to complete the whole thing. So if you were to think about the way I am, what would you do?
And geochuck, no Olympics. I just like swimming. And I mean, 12,000 to 14,000 yds. per week over the Mon-Thurs workouts. Not each day.
