I ask this because I did a 500 and then 5x50s warm up for a meet this past weekend. When I swam the 500, I was cruising but was literally dead after about 6 laps. I go much faster in practice sets when we do distance and it was frustrating to say the least.
I recall that I did a 1,500 warmup in my youth and had a good meet. I also know that in workout I am usually at my strongest after we do about 1,500-2,000.
So, I am tired of being a workout warrior. Does 1,500 of warm up sound crazy?
Thanks,
Rob
500 free, 200 back then 200 ***, another 100 free. Rest a bit on the wall and talk story, do a couple of easy 100's, some moderate 50's, some 25's "light" fly, more talking, a few easy laps and out. ALways around 1500-1700.
But I'll get back in right before my event, some more easy stuff (maybe 300 or so yards/meters), and go to the blocks wet.
