Hi everyone. I have been doing the interval based workouts posted on the workout section and really enjoying them. However, whenever I try to move up to a faster interval (and add more yards) my left shoulder gets very sore. Does any one have suggestions on how I can strengthen my shoulders to help handle more yards?
There isn't a master's team where I live, but the age group couch has "stroke clinics" for adults that I have been going to once a week to make sure I am using good technique and am not injuring myself with strokes.
Thanks in advance!

You took a LOT of Advil.
I know people who live on this stuff. I rarely take it anymore. Not supposed to anyway since I'm doing prolotherapy. But too many anti-inflammatories, like cortisone, slow the healing process. You probably already know this. There is no evidence regarding the efficacy of glucosamine, but I know people that swear by it too.
Lay off backstroke. Ramp up the kicking. Although I think it's a mistake to kick exclusively unless you really have to. It's too boring. You'd probably have better results by wearing some fins if needed and mixing in more kicking IMHO.
Might not want to do consecutive killer workouts in a row and go one easy, one hard for awhile if you think you have tendonitis.
