Hi,
I'm new here..."Hi, y'all!"
I have a question about my training schedule. I run 4 days and swim 2 days a week. I would like to add 1 more swim day per week, but I'm not sure if I should decrease my runs from 4 to 3 per week.
On my swim days I do one of Betsy's 1 hour workouts...I just pick a random one. They're generally 2400-2600m and usually take me around 1 hour. I'd like my 3rd swim to be a longer workout, but I'm not sure what an appropriate length would be.
My runs are typically 5 to 10 miles in length, sometimes longer.
If annyone has some ideas, please feel free to let me know! I'm open to any suggestions!

Why not simply adding a transition swim after a run, or a transition run after the swim.
In this case, on the day you expect to be doing both, why not favoring a nice long pull buoy set? Simple and efficient. No conflict with the running workout (no matter if the workout is after or before the swim).
Anecdotal evidence suggest that it's often better to swim after the run. Not the opposite.
