It is soo hard for me to concentrate during lap swim at my pool. Anyone else have this issue? Today i did my regular saturday morning swim. As I am traveling to the pool, I decide I am going to count how many laps I did today. I start counting as I go and then find myself trying to count my breaths for each length, or figure out a new drill to try, or why the heck is this person in front of me as slow as molasses in my lane? THEN, I rest when i hit the wall, and check out the other lanes..I get all competitive with strangers in the other lanes and it just ends embarassingly for myself. haha. On the way home, im mad that i didnt keep track of my laps n stuff. I dont time myslef as of yet because of my unorganized workouts thus far. I am going to join a masters team very very soon, hopefully that will remedy some of my issue. :shakeshead:
that's why you do sets
ie 15 x 100 on 1:10
I suggest you focus on the task at hand
think about your swimming goals
train to make them happen
join a team
show up and do what the coach tells you to do
as meets approach if you're going to them you may need to modify the work outs to accomodate your taper
