On another thread, there was a reference to having a "focus event." I was wondering how many of us have focus events and what they are. Is it a good thing to have a focus event to help direct your training?
I have an event that always seems to be my "best" event (50 back), but I wouldn't say I focus on it exclusively at all. More apt to focus on sprinting in general.
Thoughts?
Given the distances that your are swimming already, I'd lay good money down that you could do it now. I'm not saying it would be a walk in the park, but you could do it.
Agreed. I recently completed my 10k postal swim. During the two months before I did the swim I took nearly half the days off. I swam more than 4000 yds only a handful of times.
The rule of thumb I remember from another life when my knees let me run without a care was that to complete a certain distance you need to practice at one-third the race distance on a regular basis.
