Wow!!!!! Good luck with that! I do the 1 pull 6 kicks, I swallowed lots of water until I got it.
That's a huge workout! I will be waiting to hear !0 -
I'll be waiting, too. I can get 2000M in an hour and I'm whooped, Of course it appears you are younger than I am. What a goal!! Just think how gratifying it will be when you reach it. Don't get discouraged.0

We had to do 8 x 50 sprints on :60 last night. I thought I was going to die after the first 3.
It looks like the toughest part will be the sprints. Do as many sprints as you can, even if you find yourself slowing way down with the same amount of effort. When your time exceeds the 45 seconds, add 10 seconds to the on time (55 seconds instead of 45) for the remaining sprints.0 -
In the hour I was able to do all the way thru the first main set and finished the second set of fin kicks. That took me the hour and then I continued on another half hour to work on flip turns. I am doing about a 23-25 second 25 at this point. I did find myself slowing way down the last 4 but I did it!!! Going on a four hour paddle tomorrow so not sure I will swim tomorrow. Thanks for the encouragement folks!! Happy to have you around.0
