Here's the deal.
I can only swim 50 min to one hour a day, which equates to at most 2000 yards for endurance work and 1500 yards for faster interval work with more rest.
I feel guilty when I read about other peoples yardage. Is anyone putting up some fast freestyle times with this little yardage? If so, what are the times? I really want to know.
I'm 42.
I can swim 1000yds in 18 minutes, so I guess I could do 3000 yds in an hour. But My focus is really the 100. I desperately want to get under a minute this year. If I can do that, then I know I have a future as a sprinter, since this is my second season.
Because my intensity is high and rest periods longer, the volume ends up being less than 2000 yds. I would like to extend my workouts to 90 minutes, but I have time constraints.
I spend time in the gym (although I just heard Phelps say he does NO lifting) and also the bike. I think I have descent strength for sprinting.
