So here's the challenge/question...can any of you put aside the first and primary motivation that keeps you training which is fear of fat....and train specifially to RACE fast...not workout fast?
I've gained weight by training more, so I don't think fear of fat is the primary motivation. So let's add "fat" in with slow and old. :laugh2:
Seriously though, how do I get in the mindset of being happy training hours a week (even if it's just say 3 hours a week) for a race that is a few minutes or a few seconds? What should my motivation be to train to RACE fast?
I figure I had better enjoy the training most as it's 95% of my swimming experience. I look forward to each practice for the sake of the practice. The meets are ancillary.
