I’ve decided to take the plunge and do a swim block. I usually swim twice a week, rarely 3 times. I have never swum more than 10k in a week.
Last week we did an 800m LCM TT, I swam 13:30 which is decent for me, but a minute too slow for getting me out of the water with the people i want to get out with.
So I will start to swim 6 days a week for a while and see if and how much I improve.
I usually swim in a coached group twice a week. When I swim alone I swim something like 400m warm up, 5x5x100 with different swim aids (pull, pull+band, snorkel, paddles), then a few hundred meters of kicking to do between 3000-3500m.
Any tips? How quickly should I expect to see improvements? Is knocking 10s/100m unrealistic in a month or 2?
