Hi everyone... I'm new to the forums, so I hope I'm not bringing up a topic that's been covered already.
I just got in to the Great Chesapeake Bay Swim, and now I need to start training. I've been out of the pool completely for about 6 months due to illness and life getting in the way, and I'm looking for tips on how to get back into it without burning myself out or wearing myself out or getting bored, but still getting in the yards I need to in order to do well (i.e., finish without feeling like a drowned rat).
I'm training by myself, which makes it harder, especially with the bored part. All suggestions welcome, and I hope I'll see some of you in June.
Cool! I didn't know there was such a thing as workouts in a binder.
I think something like that will help while I try to build up yardage. Since I train by myself, boredom becomes a huge factor. I'm not good at creating my own workouts, and lots of times I'll just do the same thing over and over. Bleah. So I'm really excited to see that and the workout blogs that VB pointed me to.
