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.
I think the counting technique needs to vary by the personal preference of the swimmer. I *NEED* to know where I am in any swim
I have to agree because I absolutely DON'T want to know where I'm at unless it's getting down to the final few minutes. It's just too depressing knowing you're only 20 minutes into the swim or whatever it happens to be. I'm used to looking at the pace clock even in the middle of swims during practice, but when I do the one hour I try not to look.
