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.
As I just said in another post, I am trying to add in a bit more cross training. So far I've already seen what I consider dramatic improvements. I'm 3 weeks in right now. I'm going to do a 2-1/2 to 3 week mini-taper starting next week though so I'm going to cut back a bit on the cross training. After that I'm going to jump right back in. I'll let people know how it goes. But right now I am convinced that for my events and the amount of time I am able to spend in the pool, cross training is the way for me to go. Especially to help build my base...I'm not quite there yet.
