Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

5k swim challenge - any takers?

short swim today
got a sprint tri in a couple of weeks so dug out tri shorts and did 1st 400m with some effort to see how close I was to the estimated time I gave - was spot on!

Session is 50mins and it doesn't matter how many times I say I will swim for 50mins and start work late my head won't allow it
Add temp traffic lights and I had just over 30 mins today

will make pool sessions "quality" work and start OW next week for endurance I think

good work, EP! I hope you manage to book in some longer sessions around work in due course. Tri sounds like a great prep.

I'd be in recovery mode so probably swimming anyway
would be an awesome challenge
It's legs of 1250m so potentially not the full 5k but it would be great to do 5k if they are happy with a slow coach

Sounds good EP.

Can't be that slow if you can make IM cut off.

About This Thread

Maintained by ITG 🇮🇸
Thread for advice and encouragement for a 5km swim challenge, inspired by the OSW couch 2 5k swim programme: outdoorswimmingsociety.com

You don't have to do it open water and you don't have to do it by any particular date.

It's a challenge, not a race.

Fetch event here:

BTW, there is a 5k, swim badge. Just saying.
