First of all you have been a big inspiration to me being a usrpt swimmer and someone who is into nutrition like you are. I’ve been training usrpt for 8 months and my times were right on my pace for 100 free fly and breast. It hasn’t been 2 years since I threw up blood. I’ve been on a journey for good health ever since and I am happy to come across your blog because you have given me motivation. <br><br>I am 27 years old 6 feet 0 inches tall and 151 pounds. I never swam year round because I wanted to play other sports, football and basketball. I just swam summer league. Luckily I had some great coaches growing up at my neighborhood pool. My season ending meet was the Colonies zone scy masters Championship. My best events were probably 50 breast and fly. I went 27.99 and 23.65. My 100 breast was 1:04.27 and my fly was 56.69. Clearly awful based off of my 50 times but I can’t complain because those were right on my usrpt pace almost on the dot. I just need to get faster. Even though it should have been faser that was literally my first 100 yard breast and fly ever. Every time I swam 100 breast/fly it was in meters and it was like maybe 5 times. I am not a power swimmer obviously at 151 pounds but I am finesse as hell. In the hurdler stretch I can touch my forehead to the floor. <br><br>I thank god for your blog because it gives me motivation to get where I want to go and that’s a 49 100 fly, 56 100 breast, and sub 45.7 100 free. Thank you Shawn for giving me inspiration. <br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418255805011610396.post-28780590593108776792015-04-08T17:25:54.908-07:002015-04-08T17:25:54.908-07:00Just over a month into keto. The university season...Just over a month into keto. The university season ended so I thought I'd give it a go. Swimming about 3 times a week of low volume maintenance(3.5-4km) and in the gym about 5 times a week.<br><br>Went as I've read. Initially felt like shit (glycogen depleted feeling). Then started swimming fast. Like really fast for the amount of training I've done. Kick a seasons best 50. All season my kick has been getting worse! a month of keto and weights and I drop at 2 seconds in a fifty. Also hitting some other decent sprint times in practices. <br><br>Notes: many writters such as Tim Noakes mentioned they lost their hunger. I haven't at all, even though I'm not doing much volume. Probably due to weights?<br><br>I have noticed though that my hunger doesn't get linked to fatigue like feelings of low blood sugar though. I never feel like a kid forced to go on a long hike anymore! I can work hours and exercise with this hunger and not feel tired.<br><br>Plan on maintaining this through the summer (Not drinking a ton of beer is my only falling point) and giving it a go when the college season ramps up and start hitting larger volume loads.<br><br>Just wanted to thank you for getting me started.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
