Скачать или смотреть River Dart 10K Swim Training Week 1

14 weeks to go till my marathon swim attempt in the River Dart 10K swim event on Sunday 3rd September 2023. This series of videos will track my training progress as I build up the necessary distance and efficiency to swim the 6.2 miles on the day. The event was cancelled last year after I had built myself up to swimming 5 miles ready for the event. I swim all year round with and without a wetsuit and so far this year I have built myself up to 2 miles. As the sea around Plymouth UK warms up I'll be stretching myself more and more. In this video I was hoping to achieve 2.5 miles or even 3 miles but I didn't account for the seaweed and choppy waters beyond - I lost my bottle as I was swimming alone and so gave up after the two miles. Hopefully next week I will get to 2.5 miles or even 3 miles still ahead of my schedule. I have two swimming schedules - one is very tough but will stand me in better stead whereas the other is more forgiving but I will be well enough prepared using it. No doubt I will stick by something in the middle. I will discuss the nutrition I am using after I pass 2 miles and rediscover what works for me. #Dart10K #marathonswimming #marathonswimtraining #openwaterswimming #wildswimming #seaswimming #Devon #RiverDart #Plymouth #PlymouthUK
