I have been swimming 1500m in 30 minutes for some time with no real signs of further gain. Is this the sort of plateau I should expect?
I don't want to waste a lot of time training in swimming just to gain another minute, when the extra training might be better spent on the bike to save 10 minutes.
What sort of times would should average Joe Blow expect to achieve over this swimming distance?
I ask this question because I was reading a swimming book where the suggested training program had 50m splits of 45 seconds, and there is no way I could do this, but it was suggesting that everyone should be able to work toward this goal. Is this realistic ??
Thanks,
Harrow.
