Thank you!! So bananas are obviously a Thing
Yesterday I ate 3 bananas, one in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and I had a nice swimming session. First time after a couple of weeks. No cramps. I will repeat that tomorrow. I hope it wasn't an one time thing
.
By not changing the routine I meant that there weren't any major changes. I didn't go from 1000 meters to 1500 for example. But you are right plant_eater I should include some interval training or something like that. It's just that I'm still not a very efficient swimmer, so I'm just trying to work on my form and arm strength. I tried to do some quick bursts yesterday, but I don't know... I must be doing something wrong with freestyle stroke. If I'm trying really hard (and try to be as quick as I can) or if I try to glide more and just take it easy, it always comes up to about 60-65 seconds for 50 meters. A bit frustrating. So it's difficult to do intervals, because my speed doesn't vary very much ...
I did buy fins a while ago, I'm still thinking of how to include them into my routine.
I sure hope I got this cramp thing covered for a while now
