GoSwim GoldShould i beging tapering?
Start New Topic|
During the highschool season we tapered a little for a feb. 10th meet and a full taper for states on feb.20th. since then, i have been double practicing 3 times a week and singles 6 days a week. I swam through ymca states that were this weekend and almost went my best 500 time. On march 15-18th i have winterchamps. My question is should i continue double practices for this week and taper next week? Im going for the team 1000 record which i missed by 2 hundreths of a second last year but my 500 time has improved this year. |

Distance swimmers don't need as much rest as sprinters. Without knowing volume, pace, maturation level, and what type of practices you're doing... it's very hard to make a suggestion on this. What's your coach say you should do? Good luck, and always work your walls to grab those last few hundreths. |

So i decided not to double workout because my coach has me doing some pretty intense sets. Like 3 1000's on 12 or 10 100 on 1:20 holding 1:03 or better. I feel like im working to hard when my big meet is only 10 days away |
