any other posters go swimming ?
forgotten how tiring it is, 56 x 50m lengths at the aquatic last night, surprised how busy it gets
Been to raich carter couple of times mate, canny set up there, problem is only takes dozen swimmers to turn up and its full , bit hit n miss if wanting to train properly, but ideal for a leisurely swimTopper exercise.
I go to the Raich Carter every Sunday morning and get the bairn to splash the pensioners
aim is to be able to do 2mile in an hour , think that's 76 lengths !! just need to do summit twice a week while can't run , me shoulders n arms were achin a bit afterwards , and youre right there are some very fit women in therekin ell, mile and a half swim !! good effort. I had a spell at trying to get into it instead of running for the non impact effect on legs etc but only lasted a few months, used to do 60 lengths and then I was knackered and bored sh1tless. Great exrcise if you enjoy it tho and some top pervin (on women)!! to be done

thank fuck, that's doable , dunno how I got 76 mind.It's 65 in a 50m..
I used to swim 1000 metres every week, but as I currently don't have a swimming mate, I always seem to find an excuse not to go, and have got out of the habit. Was so much easier if you knew you had to turn up to meet somebody.any other posters go swimming ?

got a bike, did the C2C last year... did look into the suncitytri training, but as you say its a tues/thurs and that clashes with daughter going t harriers unfortunately - what sort of distances do they swim there mate ?I swim Tuesdays and Thursdays with my triathlon club. Just was getting coached and everything is starting to click now and getting quite decent.
All you need to do is get on a bike and triathlon train

ive tried it a few times over the last month - feel like a complete tool turning up with ya little floatation belt on. Gave it up as a bad jobyes mate, was doing that Christmas/new year period when originally injured , use to feel a right plonka to be fair
never had a floatation belt mind !! just felt uncomfortable jogging up n down in the pool while people stared and thought I was some random nutter.
didn't realise you were injured mate, hope nothing serious and back to running soon
I normally seem to do about a mile, but different lanes do different things. I'm in the lane just above the learners. Ideal for me with the strollers!
