Hi all,
I need to ask a question. I have hit a brick wall wall here. My times and overall feeling have become very sluggish. I have been swiming sc 3 days a week for a weekly total of 10-15k. i vary speed/distance/intensity. 8 weeks ago i am repeating 100's sub 1:05 on 1:30 without issue. Now i'm lucky to see 1:13's. I also run 20-30mi/wk and bike 2-3 hrs. Everything is staggered properly. The only other problem is that the pool is 85 degrees. What do you think? more speed work? more days? more distance? My swim training is geared towards late spring OW >3miles. :badday:
If you're planning to swim open water, you won't have 85 degrees.
I have trouble working hard in water that's too warm.
Drink lots of water. Do some sprint sets along with timed long sets, 1 mile in 30 min. Do open turns to minimize the flip turn advantage.
