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:
Yes, the 5 days a week plan would be more beneficial. Also, I find a supplement, like Endurox, really helps when taken within 15 minutes of completing the workout. It helps the body to recover quicker so you're not fatigued for the next days workout. It's important to push the body outside it comfort zone but make sure you listen to it when too much is too much. Good Luck.
