Definitely finding that I am limited now, because I really haven&#8217;t been training for distance in the last few months but only on refining technique.  As it gets warmer, I will begin to add a longer distance swim each week just to practice long distance at various tempos.  But I don&#8217;t want to turn all my workouts into distance training as I don&#8217;t have any race to train for this coming year, but rather want to focus on cementing and imprinting the right body movements for technique.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On New Years Day, my Master&#8217;s group, LAMVAC, hosts a 10K swim each year.
