Looking for a little motivational help or a solution. I am slowing down. Sometimes it's difficult to even get through a warmup. I only swim 3x a week, 4-5k. I can repeat 1:15's all day, 5 months ago I was repeating 1:05 on sets of hard 500's w/o issue. I don't understand. I have also developed quite the neck and upper back pain. Can't seen to solve that either but, it's keeping up at night now. I do speed work, i do distance. What do y'all think. :badday:
Christian,
I developed neck and shoulder pain during my swimming and this turned out to be a side affect of my head position. I was holding my head too high in the water and as a result my back muscles tightened up. Also, what kind of stretching do you do? Any yoga? If not you might want to consider adding stretching and/or yoga to your routine.
