My legs are and have always been in incredible shape (been an athlete of many sports, a runner for two years, and a fairly fast cyclist as others tell me, with no issues with endurance ever) so is it really my commute that wears out my legs before I swim, or am I missing something?
BTW, my legs die during extended kicking...and part of it is poor technique, but I have a coach helping with that!
dont kick while swimming. you dont do it in a race dont do it that much during training. yes you can do maybe about 2-3 hounded yards of kicking (solely kicking) if you feel like really kicking but dont kick for most of the time.
