This is my second post here (first one was about my lower back pain which is finally getting better, thanks!). How should I organize my 3 swim workouts/wk (well, actually 2, because 1 is organized by a group)? Below may be helpful for you to make suggestions.
- I have been swimming freestyle for about a year. Took some lessons at the beginning.
- I am a triathlete - but can't run/bike hard right now. So I would like to concentrate on swimming.
- 100yd best: 1:26 (Feb 06)
- 1500m open water best: 2:04 pace/100m (Sept 05) (slow.. even with wetsuit :D )
- One of the 3 workout is with a tri/swim group - 3500-4000yd which includes various interval (

Boring, how can you be bored when concentrating on your swimming style. When I trained for the marathon swims, 1hr, 2 hrs, 3 hrs, I thought of stroke, pace, and how to make money for my family of 6 kids. It would have been terrible if I became bored everytime I got in the water. Think about the feet they are not to be straight out they should flex in when you kick down and be straight in the up kick. I raced ten years as a marathon swimmer it was never boring and 25 years before that and found it to be very exciting never boring.
