Share your training
Hi
aren’t you curious to know how the other fellow swimmers, and readers of this blog are
training? I am, and I am sure all of us would learn from each other experience.
So why not to share it!
I would like to make this session of the site a place were we can chat and share about our life in the pool.
Please leave a comment and tell us how you train, why you do it, what is your preferred
stroke, which are the best 5 drills for you, and anything else you want to share with us about your swimming.
I hope to see a lot of you posting.
All the best and keep healthy, keep swimming.
Gab

I usually do
400 warm up
10X100 m freestyle
20X50 m freestyle
drills
warm down
My aim is to get my 100m under 56sec. I am 42 and just started swimming again after 20 years,
I am now competing in the master circuit.
Let me know what you think. Great site btw
Hey man! what about total distance, you must be around 3000/3200 meters, right? 100m in less than a minute, very cool! I am trying to reach 80 secs. I am 40 and swim 3/4 times a week, sesssions are all between 3000 and 3400 mts, they all have 400/600 mts of warm up and cool down; some days I focus on the aerobic side and do at first let’s say three sets of 600 mts each and then I turn to the anaerobic side and swim 8 x 50mts + 5 x 40 mts (and some days I do less aerobic and more anaerobic -not that it’s planned, it’s just how I feel that day). And I have started to do drills in almost each session, as recommended by Gab.
All in all I’m swimming at 3 min 05 secs each 200 mts, 1.20/25 secs the 100′s and 30 secs each 40 mts.
I am not competing, altough thinking to start doing it in the local master circuit (I’m from Argentina, BTW).
Great site, keep it up !!

Dear Guys,
) Yet after only the 2nd day training I felt a real breakthrough! 
I’ve been swimming for several years and have taken part in several lake/sea/river swimming competitions as well. I was usually in the first 10-35% percent of participants but was hard to imagine how I can be more durable or faster… Till now!!
Thanks so much and keep it going on,
