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:

On Tuesday, I started swimming after not regularly swimming since Labor Day. I had no pool avaiable. I swam 3 times. I rowed and lifted. Three times I ran, I had to stop because of those tricky knees & lungs. I can't believe how out of shape I am for swimming. This is the worst I've ever been, even after a colectomy, not swimming for one month and wearing an ileostomy bag, I swam better. It is really terrifying. I tried to do some fly last night and my shoulders wouldn't let me.
