Some beginner questions: What kind of cross-training do you do? 2. How to find goggle
Former Member
s that actually work and do not leave deep rings around the eyes?
My training goes like this at this point:
Mon: run 1 or 2 miles on treadmill
swim 1 hour w/coach
Tues: longer run or other aerobic exercise for about an hour
weight training for about an hour
Wed: same as Monday
Thurs:
same as Tuesday
Friday:
run for an hour
swim (no coach and much less disciplined) about 45 minutes
Sat:
core work for an hour (Pilates)
Sun:
often no time to workout at all, sometimes an hour run or aerobics class
Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi Babs,
If you are new to swimming, it is normal that you want a comfortable goggle. In fact there is not one, but you get used to it. The marks around your eyes will disappear within a couple of minutes, not a big deal. The models in Europe is different than the US, but I recommend you to try as much as possible (from your pool friends).
I like running, love swimming. You do not need to do any running to be fit in swimming. Just look at our idol's blogs (Ande the great). He just swims and do some weight lifting. You might also try parkour. If you can do it, you are fit enough to do any sports.
