So last year I did a horrific (to me) 5K and averaged 2:30/100m. It was awful. I was a little shocked as the previous 7 weeks were: 6.5, 4, 6, 7.75, 8, 8, 10.4 (total K/week). total swim last year was 262,000m.
so now I'm thinking about a 5K next weekend. REcent "training" has been 3, 1.5, 1.5, 3.5, 4, 4.25, 6.3, 4, 9, 8, will be at least 8 this week.
ASSuming I get through that, do I have any reasonable expectation of entering a 10K in May if I consistently get my weekly totals higher? I found the DART 10K training plan (just long distance swim though) and woohoo but i'm actually 14 weeks out! Yay. I thought I was already under that. So weesh, that's good right? If I can do their 2.5, 3, 3, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 6.5, 8, 7, 5 (but weekly distance would likely be these plus whatever to hit 12K+, right?) I *should* be able to finish the 10K in May, right? I figure I will really need to gauge more off the 5K next week though, maybe?
any ideas?
