"I ran 2.5 miles for first time....been building the distance up..... it's huge when I think I could only run for 3 min max about 4 weeks ago  Lx"
Well done! I've not been swimming for a while as I had an ear infection but about 6 months ago I could barely do 10 lengths so I can totally understand how much you've had to push yourself |

I do a variety of strokes in rotations of 10 to vary the impact up to 30 lengths then front crawl after that

It funny never thought I would enjoy it but find myself looking forward to running ... A big well done with the swimming I love swimming the feeling of being in water it is amazing...Swam from a very early age owing to my dad believing in the sink or swim method and being dropped in a pool at 1.5 yrs loved it ever since
