Help me. I have been training for a couple of months(Since October) for a 4.4 swim and have been battling stiffness/Soreness in my shoulders and chest. While my friends say that I am over training I beg to differ. I watch other swimmers who are training for the event train for a minimum of an hour in the pool daily while I am suffering. My recent workout was; Saturday 2 miles 67 minutes Sunday cardio work no pool Monday 1 mile 33 minutes Tuesday 1 mile 32 minutes Wednesday -Whinned a lot Thursday-More of the same. I am new to this sport so I need some wisdom. I am 33 years old so I don't think it is age(hope not).

    Get in some yoga-style stretching and be patient with it. It takes a bit of time. Also keep in mind that the race is 3.5 months away and don't try to get in shape all at once. You only have to be ready on the day. -LBJ
