I'm starting two-a-day practices in a desparate attempt to get ready for Nationals. So I'm swimming 3 times a week, twice a day, running and light weights the other two days, and resting on weekends.
Any ideas for making the transition from swimming just 3 times a week to this new schedule easier? My muscles are screaming right now!! :help:
Hi Kyra!
I would not jump from 3 times a week to twice a days! You will be increasing way too fast and taking a huge chance for an injury. That is what I did and now I'm paying the price! I've been out of the water for 3-4 weeks, having to take muscle relaxers and antiinflammatory drugs and going through PT! I agree with Fly Queen....it would be better to swim 5 times a week! I just don't want you to make the same mistake I did!:(
