I have entered the Swim Around Lido Key event for April 14th. It is about a 7mile swim. The longest I’ve done previous is 3 miles, and that’s sorta like a long workout - took me 74 minutes. Seven miles is a bit longer and I’m wishing for some friendly advice.
Would anyone like to help me in my training for this? I’m wondering about the last week, or “taper week”.
I don’t think I should cut back to much less than 5-6000/day, but maybe I’m wrong here. I’m getting in 8-10,000 on Saturdays now, and have to limit my weekday swims to 5-6000 as it is. I just figure I want to be rested, but don’t want to over do the resting.
Thanks in advance!
Thank you everyone, Paul, Bill, . I've been "absent" from the forums for a couple of years, and this was a wonderful welcome back!! I will definitely be taking notes on what I do for "next time" and following your advice. I'll sign off now for a couple of weeks, and then let you know how I did (or died - how do you spell that?).
