I started swimming 2x per week at the start of December as I’m training for an Ironman in September. I’ve had a bit of past swimming experience so I’ve been able to up my distance quite a bit. I’m able to do 3000yds at 2:00/100 yds easy.
I’ve since been learning to focus on f0rm and shifted the load from my aching shoulders (bad) to my lats and noticed a big improvement in my pull (yay). My time has improved at similar HR and RPE but my endurance seems to have tanked. I feel gassed and tired after a 200 yd swim and it seems that I can’t swim more slowly while activating my lats and using my new, better f0rm.
Is this normal when making big corrections to f0rm? And will my endurance come back? Thanks for your wisdom!!
