Subject: Swim Training, vs Run training Okay the Mantra for Running is "Run a lot, mostly easy sometimes hard" okay this makes sense a lot of sense, keeps you injury free etc.... But when talking about swimming the mantra is "If you swim long slow distances that is how you will swim on race day. This also makes sense to me. You need the short sprints to build your speed etc... But as I was doing my swim this morning to me they jsut seemed like a contradiction, one you take it easy to build and the other you push to build. Can someone clear this up for me? |
