Does anyone know where you can buy them? I mean the proper things that the swimmers wear - not these pathetic, skimpy litlte things the likes of Tom Daley wore, which do seem fairly easy to find online. I've convinced myself that the inspiration from wearing a pair of "Team GB" shorts will help me to crack the elusive 6min 30s barrier for 400m. |

I'm getting it. I need to work on my FQS too - so I'm learning the jargon | |

I had my first swimming lesson in 25 years yesterday. In my lengthy feedback (a lot of bad habits), I need to do such technical things as this: 2 x 100m on 20 ri But I'm too embarassed to ask my what ri means though. Can somebody tell me? | |

I'm sure this has been asked before many times, but being relatively new to the sport, I was just curious to know. I did two triathlons this year: the first one my time was about 26 minutes, the second about 27 minutes - and the timing mat was immediately after the lake exit on both points. Now of course I could have got slower, but assuming my fitness / peformance was more or less similar, the only other variable is the length of the swim. So how are these things measured - and is there an official accuracy - i.e. plus/minus 5 % ? | |

YD:
I see. Yes, this so-called "Marathon Pace" would in no way reflect the speed I could actually run a marathon at! I've done a HM in 1:28 and god knows how much slower I'd have to go to repeat the course again. I have no intention of doing that any time soon!
I'm glad that it doesn't seem such a bad idea to run at MP. What I didn't realise is that this should NOT be a replacement for the slow runs. Maybe I could alternate this every week with a normal "tempo" run.
Talking of tempo runs - I have a standard route which takes me about 32 minutes. Is that a bit too long? I've read ideally it should be 20-25 minutes, but over a shorter distance, I just find it too tempting to run much faster that I should be, simply because I can. Would it be better to jog for 10 mins either side of the tempo 20 mins?
