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 Ande!
Big discussion around weight lifting vs Swimming currently in our team. Michael Phelps never lift weights..he seems to do pretty good in the pool:rolleyes:. Lots of others spending lots of time in the gym as well. You recommend weight lifting as I understand. Why? Do you recommend it even for 35+ age groups?
Thx!
