I decided to do away with the previous post. Yea. after wad Gen told me. Right, "Why am i so afraid to lose you when you are not even mine?" So nvm. shall talk abt swimming.
ya. old boring swimming. the stupid water sport which makes us go dizzy with laps and laps and yet laps again in the stupid pool. As the chinese saying goes,"1 lap during competition, equals to 1000 laps during training" HouYes. it is true. i dun understand why ppl can train so hard. thats still ok. but why they are able to do it, and still be able to stand the boredom? i have to say swimming have made many people lifeless. robbed of their free time, their time to relax, and time from family and frens. wad is the world becoming to? i am not against people from COE. but dun they think that it is realli eating into their lives? i am not sure man. i am just a average swimmer training abt 5-6 times/week (onli during hols). i noe of people who goes over 10 times a week!. waking up even before my dream can start, to train. and train. and train again. over and over again.
i have to make my point. If by training alot, you can reach your peak, many people would have maxed it long ago. So, again, i am not against coe people cuz other clubs also prolly train as much.
lets calculate;
a) i go training 6 times a week, and i put in 100% effort.
ans a) = 6x100%=600% effort
b) i go training 10 times a week, effort degrades by 8% after every session
100%+ 92% + 84% + 76% + 68% + 60% + 52% + 44% + 36% + 28% = 640%
ans b) = 640%.
i need not say more. this is onli for a person who is unable to last through the sessions( double training). i hav this viewpoint cuz obviously i cannot last double training for more than a day. i die next day.then if u are someone like me, and wants to train that much suddenly, u die too. dun think u can survive it as long as u perservere. its a vicious cycle, u get more and more tired. ur strokes gets away, u get slower, u lose passion for swimming. and u fail urself. so for me, i choose plan A. houYes, smart choice. this way. i can improve better, focus better. more time for games and a lil bit more for studies. more life, better swims. and most imptly, I RETAIN MY PASSION FOR SWIMMING. unless u already a good lasting swimmer from lesser sessions, i feel its best tht we do not move on to ^8x a week.
HouYes. u must agree that passion and self-interests are the best inspiration and moltivation for u to press on during the toughest of the trainings. lose it, lose urself.
THE ABOVE IS TOTALLY MY POINT OF VIEW, NOT HAPPY, TOO BAD CUZ I DUN CARE TOO.
