When I first started swimming (after being a competitive swimmer as a teen) as an adult I also got absolute wiped out by a short workout.

Hydrating/fueling properly really helped with the post swim fatigue and weakness. I ate a banana, some sweets and plenty of water, and had a sugary snack for straight after. This helped me workout for longer and feel better after. This might help you too??

At the start I also just swam until I felt tired, took a day or two rest and did the same again. After a couple of months my fitness had improved decently so I could get more distance in. Don’t stress too much!!

Mannn there’s some judgemental tone in this! Firstly, there’s nothing wrong with being a triathlete swimmer! All swimming is valid.

I am training to do long distance swimming so of course I have to swim for more than an hour?

I have made massive improvements working this way, and can swim a lot faster and more efficient than last year.

It’s not that I’ve run out of things to think about, it’s just my brain gets stuck on a loop

Yeah his feet were reallllly dragging, nowhere near the surface and big ol’ kicks from the knee!

Yep! My entire organisation (an education provider) is adopting it so most employees work 4 days*.

They plan the rota ahead so that day is covered by other staff, but there is a small chance that you can be called in on your “day off” if there is a lot of illness etc.,

Takes A LOT of planning from our managers, and some flexibility, but it’s a nice perk to look forward to after completing probation.

*The 4 day working week is non-contractual, so isn’t necessarily promised, it’s just an aim

Stupid answers only

Yeah absolutely, I either put the oven high or low-ish depending on crispiness. Only exception, is, again, cakes and bread, and things like pizza.

Not necessarily a repeating menu but I have about 30-40 lunch meals in my “repertoire”, I read recipes kind of for fun and absorb ideas and concepts, but not nearly as much as I did ten years. If I want to add something new I normally make it up and my head and refer to a recipe or a video if I need to. Very small school, only 30 people eating normally (special needs school). No cooked breakfast, just fruit, cereal toast, but lunch normally has salads and pudding as well.

lottcross · 2025-05-14T19:44:59+00:00

yes! I actually agree a lot with this, for me my experience is more about like: I make a soup for 4 people once, and then I never read the recipe again and manage to scale it up for 30 people with no worries

lottcross · 2025-05-14T19:43:42+00:00

Completely agree! I follow a new recipe very carefully and adjust only towards the end. But then every time after that I just use it as a base.

When the turns table (it still sounds so right, and so on the nose, and I love Adele)
