Subject: Swimming on rest day Hi there,
I am currently training for IM Texas using Don Fink's intermediate plan and am having a hard time making the swims work in my schedule. I am in the Air Force and in addition to my own training I also have PT on Tues, Thurs, and Fri. My swim days are those same days so I have been trying to get fit it in on lunch but don't have enough time. There is a pool close to my house where I can swim in the morning but wouldn't be able to do those days because my PT is in the morning.
I can make the morning swims work in my schedule, but would have to do them Mon, Weds, and Sat. Mondays are supposed to be my rest days, and since I can't move any of my other workouts around (it's only possible for me to do the long runs and rides on weekends ) would it be ok to accomplish one of my swims on Monday, even though it's supposed to be a rest day? I am not sure if it would have a negative impact, or if it's a light enough activity that I can still get the benefits of a recovery day.
I appreciate any advice on this!
Jaime
