Short background - short course racing, 90% wetsuit legal, usual bike runner strengths. If I do a 70.3 it’s usually one a year at most. I prefer short stuff.
In the past I only do two sometimes 3 swims a week. Not enough I know. And to make it possibly worse I have an addiction to floatie toys. Pull bouy or wettie pants it hides my flaws I guess- it allows me to get a lot more volume in (despite only a few sessions a week)
Conundrum - goal is to get straight into 4 sessions a week. If it doesn’t improve my swim speed I atleast figure i May be less gassed for the bike and run even if it’s sprints.
Should I:
A) ditch floaties altogether, suffer and stop every 100m for a breather coz I suck and try and improve that way over time
B) do the brett Sutton and keep the floaties but commit to more volume and 4 days a week and just swim moarrrrr
C) mix both - 2 days no toys possibly less volume, work on wtf my legs are doing. 2 days of probably a stronger workout with probably more yards with floaties on.
Any tips?
