I am trying to plan for the 5k open water swim this September in Chicago.
In need of good workouts to kick start the training process.
Does anyone have any tips?
Thanks in advance..!
Unless you specifically want to do the 5k Championship swim, twice around the course, 2.5k is a perfectly fine option and more than enough distance to get really bored.
:)
Except for those few who are in it to win (out of 650), it's really just a big community swim. Dogs have done it. Ppl in flippers have done it. Go long, write a novel in your head. The last 3rd of the course is by the seawall, and you can put your feet down and take a rest, walk home.
