So this is weird. Up until now all of my swimming has been breathing to my dominant side. To balance out my stroke I've started trying to breath more to my non dominant side.
Today despite feeling horribly uncoordinated and slow I was shocked to see my 100 pace was consistently 6 seconds FASTER when breathing to my non preferred side compared to breathing to my dominant side, and at a lower RPE!
Preferred side was a 1:50 pace at a RPE of 6 out of 10. Non preferred side was a 1:44 pace at a RPE of around 4-5 out of 10....
What is going on here? Anyone else experience this?
