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 guess y'all are right. I never have counters in meets and some do-gooder starts counting unsolicited every @#!# lap for me for an entire mile, making me painfully aware of exactly how far I have left to go. For me, it is nice to have some intermittent feedback, however (so I don't worry that my counter died on me or worse, that the watch stopped and she is afraid to tell me).:D
