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).

Looks like I did the right thing so thanks for all of the feedback. i stopped for a while and have done some rehab on the shoulder and it is starting to come around. My friend who is a doc gave me some excercises to do but he said I caught at the right time. His advice for swimmers that if it is clicking or "grinding" then stop.
Can't wait to start swimming again, the treadmill isn't as much fun and the pool is n't big enough for fins.
