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:

Have you tried cutting down on your non-swimming workouts? I seem to remember that you recently increased you training significantly, perhaps you tried to increase to much too fast?
I cut out the running and I go twice a week (Tues. and Thurs.) to the gym. Lift light weight to almost fatigue for biceps, triceps, lat pulls, bench machine, and abs. I've actually noticed a difference by doing this, so I don't really want to cut it out.
