Out of curiosity, what goes through your mind during long swims? I had to laugh yesterday while doing a 3 hour that at the end of it, I was more boredthan physically tired. I have to find another, longer venue to do these. 25 yards at a time is mind-numbing. But looking back, I have no idea what I was thinking about for that long, other than occasional 100 time checks during longer sets and watching form.
So anohter question for my distance peeps, how are you balancing the distance with speed in workouts?
I have the same challenges. When I am disciplined enough to work in the speed, I do notice results, but so many days as I go to write a workout I find myself failing to add in speed or threshold work muttering something about "maybe tomorrow". I'm considering writing out my workouts for the week ahead of time.
