I have enjoyed getting better at swimming and spending time in the pool. But I am getting enormous from it. I am adding a lot of bulk (obviously in the arm/back/quad region) and I'm wondering if this is something I just have to deal with as a consequence of swimming? I feel a lot more weighed down during runs because of it, and I don't find it to be a particularly attractive bulk at all; instead of looking like added muscle, the bulk seems to have disguised my stringy runner muscles. Anyone have tips on balancing this mass buildup while not sacrificing being able to fit into old clothing and still feeling light enough to run and bike?
I do eat a lot, but I've always eaten a lot.
