When I came back to structured training in May, I tried to get back into swimming.
Didn't work!
Too much
Too fast
Exhausting
I was not enjoying my workouts and, when I caught COVID, I had the perfect excuse to take a "short break" from swimming.
Going to try again and share that process with you.
Here's the game
Three swims a week
Ten weeks
First 5 weeks no swim longer than 1500 meters
The idea:
Build a habit of getting to the pool
Leave while we're still having fun
Associate "fun" with "pool" in our brains!
Habit + Fun = Sustainable Consistency
Workouts for the following week will be posted IN THIS DOC by Sunday evening.
Next week's workouts are live, with tips for Head Position and Breathing.
Each two week block is going to have a theme:
Head Position & Relaxation
Swing Recovery & Entry
Backstroke & Pull Pattern
Extend continuous duration
Change speed within the continuous duration
Along the way, I'll help you learn
Your Swim Paces
Swim Lingo
To Start... SLOW DOWN and LEAVE THE WATER WHILE YOU ARE HAVING FUN
