My club is putting on the 10K ow National Championships next summer.
I like ow swimming and think I would like to try the 10K.
I have completed several ow 5K's with no problem at all (I've enjoyed them)
My best time is 1:27 and i'm 54 years old. I swim about 15,000 meters/yards per week.
How much more would I need to swim to complete the 10K?
What type of training should one do to get ready for a 10K
The course is an easy double loop in a lake that tends to be non-wavy.
Any advice would be appreciated. If you think it would be a bad idea for me to do it please say so.
My biggest fear is shoulder injury and burn-out! :confused:
Thanks, Mallory Mead, Steve Munatones, LBJ, E=H2O, and others for a great set of recommendations, set variations, and perspectives on training for long-distance OW swims. I hope this thread becomes a 5-star staple on the forums.
