Thanks for the response. That makes sense re. the HR. Do you have any insight as to why I feel so much more maxed out in the pool even though my HR is ~20bpm lower than when I'm running (and not feeling maxed out at all)?


Multifactorial. Depends on your swim experience versus other disciplines, the type of workout you do, your comfort in the water, probably other factors, too.

Ability to sit on the bottom of the pool is a function of bodyfat%. ;-}

I also have the mixed blessing of being a primary mesomorph. Great for moving furniture, a little more challenged for pure speed.
