#mermaidMonday with cortneywhite_ 🧜🏼‍♀️ I’ve been able to ramp up my miles after my latest injury and have been steadily working at around 80 miles per week with workouts. BUT that doesn’t mean I’m staying out of the pool! I feel better when I swim 3-4 times per week in the afternoons. These swims help flush my legs out while getting in good aerobic work (especially at 6700ft of altitude!) 🧜🏼‍♀️ I’m glad I have this tool and encourage anyone who wants to get more work in without more mileage in the leggies to get in the pool and become a mermaid/merman! I wrote about becoming a mermaid on my website and even have some beginner swim workouts written by my teammate and former triathlete gwenjorgensen!
