Maintaining a Training Base

So, feeling as fresh as a daisy i am back into training.  The next 6 months or so is about maintaining a base level of swim fitness whilst working hard on technique with the aim of improving efficiency. So its back into the pool for 4 sessions a week:

  • Tuesday: 30 min aerobic swim followed by squad training
  • Wednesday: 5km strength work (paddles, band, etc)
  • Thursday: same as Tuesday
  • Sunday: Longer Sets at Swim Squad
Swimming this 15 to 20km per week is a breeze compared to the milage i was doing in the months leading up to Rottnest.  About October i will lift the time spent in the pool...in preparation for the opening marathon swims in late November.
