I’ll get to what that is in a minute. And I use the term “fitness” here a little loosely.
Back to the gym yesterday with my first visit to the pool in about three weeks (the pool was under repair for most of that time….it wasn’t necessarily due to me just staying away from it). It took a little getting used to once again but all in all it didn’t turn out too bad as I finished a 500M swim in about 50M chunks. My plan was to follow the format of the 0 to 1650 game plan while modifying it a bit to account for my lack of experience swimming.
I did the swim in 50M increments stopping at the end of each lap for 12 to 15 controlled breaths (in through the nose, out through the mouth) before proceeding to the next lap. I can tell that my lung capacity is growing which is a good thing. Before when I started I was struggling to finish a 25M leg. Now, I’m finishing 50M legs in fairly good shape. There’s still a long ways to go to adequately finish a roughly 400M swim involved in a sprint triathlon or a roughly 1500M swim for the Olympic distance but I think progress is being made. I just need to hit the pool more often. And get a pair of goggles!
