Hi everyone I have started my challenge of swimming 22 miles in my local swimming pool (English Channel) over the next 12 weeks. For a Charity called Aspire. They help people with spinal injuries.
I also thought this would be great help for cross training in between my runs.
I have swam 40 lengths of a 20 meter pool today = 0.5 miles.
This now gives me a fare idea of what I need to do now.
I did this last year. It gave me a real kick start to getting fitter. I did the Swimathon this year which was good too. I've kept up with the swimming. I go at least once a week - usually twice - and usually manage 1.5km a time which is 60 lengths of my local pool. I find it brilliant to improve upper body strength & stamina.
