Your paltry is better than my personal best .... Many Kudos Kida ...I'm jealous ... ~50 mins kickboard breast stroke, ~12min pull buoy front crawl

Yesterday was a rest day 2km ~64 minutes (stupid analog clock) backstroke ....my elbows hurt ...

Kida! Kida! Kida! ....wait ..there are places without internet!?!?!?! *fear*

welcome soldiergirl ...I enjoy the distraction factor of an audiobook whilst I swim ...I'm good for about an hour a day.

44 minutes closed fist crawl, 17 minutes backstroke ...tomorrow is a rest day ...and my tentative plan is to do a timed/counted swim on Sunday ....

60 minutes of Aqua Zumba ....

30 minutes kickboard backstroke, 17 minutes breast stroke pull buoy, 15 minutes water aerobics

Today was a drylander day ..61 minutes on a rowing machine. I hate that I couldn't find any calorie calculators that took meters into account instead of subjective light/moderate/vigorous. (10km) But I did sneak in a 100 meters mixed strokes to cool off/refresh at the end.

18 minutes closed fist breast stroke, 44 minutes front crawl

~15 minutes breast stroke, ~25 minutes front crawl kickboard, ~20 minutes backstroke pull buoy

10 minutes breaststroke kickboard, 37 minutes front crawl pull bouy, 15 minutes backstroke closed fist ... 4 sprint laps (100m) It is a little tiring, but I am also moving much slower. I think if I were trying to do it and maintain speed it would be exhausting ...but I'm trying really hard to find ways to up my workout…

Yup welcome. Were always glad to have new folks and there have been lots of great posts on training ideas, equipment ideas, etc

15 minutes pull bouy breast stroke, 30 minutes closed fist front crawl, 16 minutes backstroke 4 lengths (100m) sprint interspersed.

I exercise because I must ...I much prefer swimming over other forms of exercise, but I don't swim just because I love it so much. I swim because routine exercise is important for long term quality of life. As such, the doing of the exercise is not some transcendent or joyful experience. It makes me tired and sore. So I…

there are even over the counter a1c tests now ...

~45 minutes front crawl, ~15 minutes backstroke kickboard, 2 'sprint-ish' laps ...

60ish minutes ...they replaced my pool clock with an Analog face with no second hand!!! (and I'm nearly blind) ~15 minutes kickboard front crawl, ~30 minutes pull bouy backstroke, ~15 minutes closed fist breast stroke 1 sprint length (25m) at the end of each set.

Bruce man ...so sorry to hear about your shoulder ...Where there is a will there is a way. Ok so here is my workout plan until I come up with another workout plan ... My audiobook chapters average about 20 minutes long. However its highly variable, sometimes 10 minutes, several this week that were 50 minutes. But in most…

yeah ...i'm loving the simplicity and superfast dehydrating time that using luncheon meat is giving me ....but the downside is the luncheon meats already have some carbs from whatever processing they do. I'm not concerned about fat for fat sake ....but stuff I've read about making jerky is that fat doesn't dehydrate and…

60ish minutes ...forgot to look at the clock when I got into the pool ...twas 12:42 in the locker room, and 1:01 by the time I checked the clock ...and I finished up at 1:52 ...I did I think 4 sprint lengths in the last 10 minutes or so of my swim ...

about a month into swimming I was terribly itchy every day for about 5 weeks. But it was also the coldest part of the year here so I think the cool dry air combined with the chlorine was just drying me out ....

yesterday was a rest day 63 minutes, 2025m total ...mile time 48 mins ....personal best Did manage 2 sprint lengths ....the last length of the mile, and the last length of the day.

81 today ..new personal low!

So I had my appointment with the diabetic educator/nutritionist today. He was thrilled with my progress. When I asked him about rest days he seemed to brush off that concern with regards to aerobic or endurance training. Said it was more important with strength/resistance training or if you were training to be competitive…

I got my 60 minutes in today but man did I feel fatigued and slow ...Didn't help that the chapter in my audiobook was one about a character trudging along on the edge of exhaustion wanting to lie down and die in the snow ....Not helpful today George R R!! I'm thinking of taking a rest day tomorrow ...it'll be warm under…

62 minutes all crawl

Welcome Lindsey ...we're glad to have you. I can tell you as a recent convert to the chlorine cult this group is a great place to get all the info you want/need

61 minutes

I don't rest after laps. I've noticed by doing open turns I am catching a good breath or two while I get turned around, and I know that can be a bit of a bad habit. But I'm not actually stopping unless I need to dump water from my goggles or check the time. That only takes a few seconds. 'Kick from the hips' ...can you…

Finished my week of 8:1 on Saturday, did a drylander workout yesterday. So when I started this series the idea was a way for me to increase the aerobic difficulty of my swim workout without 1) Adding any more time 2) Needing to count laps 3) Watch a timer At first I saw some benefit because i was definitely more out of…
