I know I am swimming right as my Lats have been achy. A good ache. Not a ache that I cannot handle.
I did get alot of cramps in the inner thigh the other day when I was swimming. I wonder if I was a little dehydrated. Anyone else experience this?? I am going to try to drink on my rest intervals today...we will see how that goes. I've only cramped up once before and that was AFTER a 2 hour run...hmmmm...
Also the 6 switch drills with fins is an awesome drill....here is the video

One thing to think about when kicking is to kick from your hips, that might help a bit. and NP... always pee pale yellow!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good swim workout! Might have to steal this one off of you;) This is the type of swim that pays dividends on race day.
ReplyDeleteyes yes, I am an NP...but you know Im only human!!! Yes..Im a big slacker with water intake!!
ReplyDeleteI have had the cramping problem also and usually it is because I have not drank enough water throughout the day!
ReplyDeleteI'm tired from just reading about this swim! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to steel this workout! Thanks for sharing!
