Hello everyone! I have decided to really get back into competing. I was wondering if any of you would offer some advice on workouts for someone who is VERY out of shape and slightly overweight:blush:. I have pretty much 24hr access to a pool (I'm a YMCA employee plus I coach the Y team). It's funny how I can create a whole season of workouts for my team but I can't do it for myself! I just feel like I don't know where to start! Help! Thank you! :):):):)
After letting my swim skills atrophy for 27 years, I got back in the pool last fall. I started with a few weeks of relatively aimless swimming, just going back and forth re-acquiring a feel for the water and building some semblance of endurance. Then I started doing USRPT training, 45-70 minutes a workout, 5-6 times a week, putting in 10-12k yards a week. If finally paid off with National Qualifying Times at a meet today in the 200 and 500 free.
