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
100% determined by how I "feel"...it has been as little as about 500 and probably never more than 1000.
I will say I see a LOT of masters swimmers (IMHO) warm up WAY to much and in my opinion leave a lot of their race back in the warm up pool.
