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:
I agree Vive!!! This is great stuff. I printed all this out and have it in my IS Swim notebook!
When the Forest Park 50 meter pool opens we may set up an oblong "track-like course with buoys anchored to the ground. We could do 2 to 3 hour swims around this and not ever touch a wall. At least it would be something different.
I've been using GU during my longer workouts to get my stomach used to it.
