tonight i swam a workout with of a lot of 20 yrd sprints . i might as well have been swimming 200+ sets as slow as i was going. i need to go faster on the short swims. the events i want to compete in are the 50, 100, & 200 free. 50, & 100 back and the 100 im. more emphasis on the free and back.
i have been finding about 4 nights a week and about 100 - 120 min. per sessions. 4200 - 4900 yrds per session. i also try to get in 2 sessions of weight lifting in a week . it is hard to find this time to swim. (no one else probably has this issue)
i actually started swimming back in may of 2010. took allot of octo and nov. off. joined masters in nov. and have been swimming until now.
i need to swim faster what should i do?
here are my last 3 work outs. i am no ware near holding these time. i do usually complete the work outs, in about 2 hrs. the sprint workout i did not include do to space. it was definitely a different type of workout.
