How do you train for the one hour postal?
Currently I swim about 2100 - 2200yds 4 -days a week - 3 days coached w/ age group kids
1 day same yardage but not coached.
I'm thinking about staying late during my coached days and swim an extra 500 -1000 yds after practice. My thinking is this extra yardage is about what I can do to be able to get home and get dinner on the table. Then increase my 1 day not coached to about 3000 yds and do more distance swims. My personal goal is to do any where from 4200 - 4500 in the postal.
Anyone swim this event at a quick pace. . . say 1:10 per 100 or faster - AND you felt fine afterward?
Not yet, but maybe this year! :)
Last year I actually felt pretty good, but the pool was set up long course I swam it in. I think that made it slightly less fatiguing overall, but obviously didn't help the yardage total. All those turns take it out of you! I'd like to do it this year, but don't really have any definite plans yet.
