Physio and swimming

Saw Tara this morning. Plan is to take 7 days off completely, then start very slowly back - 5km every other day, building up distance, then speed, then to every day over a period of 6 weeks. Have also increased the number of reps on the exercises - can feel the calf getting stronger.

1km swim in Boy Charlton in Botanical Gardens. Easier again - first 6 lengths crawl then alternating. The buoyancy assists with it being saltwater.

How do you do deep water running and where do you do it without looking like a tool?

Maybe try the ocean pool at Queenscliff. I think that is not that deep 1.5m maybe? You just need a chest deep pool so you can use your arms to walk along the bottom. Is there a pool near the harbour in fairlight?
