Hi everyone-
I ran my second marathon just over a month ago and decided to really ramp up the run mileage in training (which went well!). But unfortunately fell out of the habit of swimming. Last year, I worked really hard at swimming and went from a 1:45 100 (scy) to 1:25.... Its been about two months since I swam regularly, and I've just gotten back into the pool... I can really feel the muscle Ive lost and my times are SLOW!
In getting back into shape, is it better to shorten the work outs and work up weekly volume? Or, keep 3k scy work outs and swim on a slower interval?
(or should I just HTFU and go to masters?...Im honestly too embarrassed because Im SO slow now!!)
Thanks for your advice!
Jen
