40 mins front crawl only ,using leg buoy due to running injury, for 1km.
first km in 25m pool.
@AquaticQuests 80-90 mins for 2km was my usual daily swim last summer/ autumn to lose the first 40llbs.i lost too much muscle too tho and couldnt keep it up.thats when i started new gym/ pool/ regime incorporating strength training and core.
the time/ effort took its toll,as well as giving me muscle ache!
now i am almost at goal of - 70llbs, i can get back to the swimming i enjoy so much.0 -
Returned from a ski vacation with a nasty head cold and mild ankle sprain ( not a ski / lounge lizard injury) so no swimming until I can breath.0

Good morning - trying to incorporate the flip turns (every over turn) is taking it out of me! I know I am working extra hard as my face is beetroot after a swim session, where as it was only like that for the first 6 months I re-took up swimming. So, new goal is to be able to do flip turns without a red face at the end of the session 0

- Yep they have that effect primarily because the mini rests at the end if each lap are eliminated. You'll quickly adjust though!Good morning - trying to incorporate the flip turns (every over turn) is taking it out of me!

- I shudder to imagine the times you will hit once you have the flip turns mastered

Yes and no. My technique is already excellent, but doing the drill helps speed. Typically turns are a slow down point. The slowing can be mitigated by implementing the drill as standard procedure in a racing situation. My purposes for doing the drill are more centered around moving my heart rate up. It's more geared toward a workout situation.AquaticQuests wrote: »

only 500m yesterday and today.
overdid it with arm day.0 -
About 30 min today. Still working on finding (and keeping) a rhythm. It felt hard, although by the end, it seemed it went by quickly. Just glad I went. Put a bean in the jar...

Fast Sets of 200 m, then 100m. Plus a bunch of other stuff.
Also a drill where after each 50m you decrease the amount you breath, ie start every 2nd stroke, then next 50 every 3rd, etc.
Thursday nights are going to become tough since I am also starting to run Thursday nights.
I got a leg cramp in my 50 fun lap using fins, by product of running then using fins. I always tend to cramp up in fins. I think it is because I don't seem to relax enough in them.0 -
ashen - make sure you're properly hydrated, I'm prone to cramping in my calves but drinking enough water before & during my workout helps....0
