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.
Good luck tomorrow! Be sure to tell us how you did!
Doing my postal swim tomorrow!! 5:00pm
I'm getting mental ready. Meals planned, music loaded.
I 've been doing distance swims since just before Christmas to get ready.
I was able to a pre swim last week in the pool I'm swimming tomorrow.
I did an easy 40min swim with 33 mins being non stop.
Yesterday I swam an easy 2000. ( 500 wp, then a 5,4,3,2,1 )
I think I'm going to have my counter hold up a blue kb at 3000yds,
red at 4000 and purple at the 10 min mark. Friends and family are coming in
during my last 15 -10 mins. hopefully I can catch a second wind.
During my practice, I was taking breaks and doing a easy 50 back for a break, not sure what I'm doing tomorrow - I guess I'll see how I feel.
