Hey ST,
As a lot of you my race schedule has dropped to 0 and I have come to the end with the fact that I won't race this season.
So since motivation is dropping a bit I need to find a focus and therefor I would like to hit my weak spot: Swimming.
What would you advice as training volume/frequency if I want to higly hit this during the next month until season 2021 starts. I am mainly looking for 1/4 and 1/2 races next season. For the context I prepared this season for a IM swim and I tested a race pace swim last week at 1h01min14sec for 3800. I would like to aim to swim <1min30 for race pace (or better) next season but I feel I have issues to hit higher speeds. I am quite ok for endurance but if I go to high i quickly pay for it.
Thanks for your advices.
