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:

I know some people are skeptical of chiropractors, but I came back from a long business trip this summer (from India) with a back/neck/shoulders that were wrenched beyond belief. I couldn't even swim butterfly and breaststroke was painful, but doable. I tried sports massages for a couple of weeks in a row, kept the training light and it was getting no better. I then went to a chiropractor who was a former collegiate swimmer himself. While I wasn't fixed in a single session, I started feeling improvement immediately and was back to normal after about a month.

Got a good guy certified in ART. He's been working diligently on me.
