After the HIM I had three resting weeks.
The second week I decided to get to the pool again and crawl without legs -> crawl with bouy.
I was sore in my right shoulder after the HIM but decided to crawl for 30 minutes, if it would get worse than I would stay away from the crawl but it worked. And since then I have had 30 minutes crawl training.
I felt very relaxed when I was using the bouy.
The third week I did not use the bouy and now the stress came back.
I made a decision that I will try Swimrun next year and need to work on a few things.
- Focus on the right shoulder
- Be able to breath on both sides, important when I am not in the pool. There might be waves
- Get faster
- Crawl longer
Last week there was a big milestone. I could crawl longer without having to bring in backstroke. Felt great.
This week the goal was to crawl longer and continue with sprint. Since I ran a tough hilly race this weekend I was using the bouy. I could sprint two lapes (2x25m) and I didn’t get breathless afterwards.
It has started to happening things. I also had a more relaxed swimming yesterday. Pace has also improved lately.
I asked a running buddy of mine how it works with Swimrun and shoes. You use a bouy and have shoes with holes so the water get out. Need to understand where I have the bouy while I am running. I also have gotten information from Altra which Altra shoes is good for Swimrun.
It is going to be a fun year next year.
