9 days until MIMS
Back in the water, 10000 yards, feeling fine and looking forward to the open water this weekend.
45 minutes at the gym at noon time.
One nice thing about training hard, there's not as much guilt when I enjoy some ice cream, sometimes I actually HAVE to take in the calories to keep the weight on that will keep me warm in the cold water.
News today from Morty Berger, the Manhattan Meet Director, this year another documentary will be recorded. The last time, in 1993, I happen to debut my long distance career in that swim documentary. It was a Blast, this year will be different, I'm 16 years older and don't care too much about my speed. It should be fun.
Total Training Distances
I train a lot, usually 50,000 yds per week... but that is for my channel swims.
Consistency is the key. Your body and muscles will remember all the training and the race/swim will go easier.
If you are training for a mile swim, I suggest to train 2 mile at least 3 time per week. When you get to the Mile race, the distance will seem like a piece of cake.
So, swim 4 x 800, or 8 x 400. I'm sorry but most kicking sets do not count to your total.
Interval training will help with speed, I went over that yesterday.
Dream, Prepare, Succeed.
