swimbikerun 1,046 Posted September 10, 2017 Depends. Reason why I say that is it depends on what your 100, 200, and 400 times are. You can not flip turn and have bad technique and turtle and it take 1 1/2 min to do a 50 SCY lap. You can do some fly and no matter what you do, that's a good work out. Swimming has a lot more variability than running does. 1 Apple1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[emoji4] [emoji4] Swimming has a lot more variability than running does.Sunday I swam for 55 minutes nonstop free and did 104 laps but the pool I swim at is only 20yards. The day before I was doing IM work. It just depends on the day what I'm doing. I'm just getting back into the swing of things. I've only been cleared to go back swimming two weeks ago.

swimbikerun 1,046 Posted September 10, 2017 That's great! That's 40 laps in a 50 SCY. IM. I love fly and IM. They don't always love me, but I love them and mid distance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
txsrooster 45 Posted September 11, 2017 I would like to join this as well. My numbers will be a bit low this week as I'm heading to MX for my wife's VSG surgery. Mine was 4 weeks ago in Galveston.

I was going by this statement that the op posted. I have no idea about swimming and how 20 minutes of this equates to other exercises. I can run 1 mile in 13:00, so I will be using my actual mileage as opposed to the 20 minute time frame quoted. 1 MowryRocks reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swimbikerun 1,046 Posted September 11, 2017 The only ones doing a 20 min. or less are Katie Ledecky and the Chinese & Australian men in the Olympics in swimming. LOL. 1 Apple1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfisher 72 Posted September 11, 2017 Willing to give this a shot. Gotta do something to get my exercise in so this may just be what I need to get back in the routine of exercising. New work schedule and back to school schedules have done a number on my previously settled in routine! 1 Apple1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
