Alright, Ive this big race sort of thing in a months time, I can swim pretty ok. Nice timing my friends would say, but i lack is stamina. i used(its been a year since i swam) to swim every sunday, i would swim breaststroke for 80 laps (25meters). But when it comes to freestyle i can do 100M but relaxing. So i know its been talked before, but how much should i swim a week, while training stamina do i go as fast as i can and try breaking the limit? or how?

QUOTE(benzene88 @ Jan 19 2008, 09:46 AM) its not how much u should swim a week, but its how much can u swim a week. for stamina, do endurance training. swim as long distance as u can with a pace.. not relaxing type.. distance and speed counts. Thanks for the reply. When you say pace, doesnt mean i have to swim as fast as i can right? how would the endurance training be like? Would it be like swim as much as i can >rest> continue? how long should i rest? |

QUOTE(benzene88 @ Jan 20 2008, 10:09 AM) yup.. when u pace urself means swim at an appropriate speed.. not too fast and not too slow.. and speed should not decrease as you swim. maybe u can set ur target to 400m non-stop with 2-3mins interval.. if u think its time to get to next level, increase ur distance to 600m, 800m and so on.. with the same time interval. unfortunately i tried swimming yesterday. The most i could do is 100M ARGH!  then rest for 2 mins and continue with 50m.... how now? |

QUOTE(Andrew @ Jan 24 2008, 11:13 PM) Keep trying. Keep doing what you have been doing but gradually increase the repetitions. You can also try to cut down on your rest time.  unfortunately, my race is next month...very close...and i have limited time for training...like around sundays... |

QUOTE(Andrew @ Jan 25 2008, 10:48 PM) In competitive swimming training, a "lap" is generally referred to as an "interval". A lap or an interval can refer to various distances. For example, if you're told to swim 10 laps of 50's @ 1:10, it would mean 10x50m swims @ 1:10, with 1:10 being the interval time for each 50m. Ooh ... in that case, you may have over-committed yourself. You shouldn't attempt something your body's not ready to do. maybe so, i was forced to do so, do i carry on? with the training that is? |
