With a huge drill focus over the winter of 2001 I lowered my Ironman swim times to 54:00.. it was boring and I hated it but it worked. 90% of all of my swims were drills. I averaged 9k per week that year. <BR/> You may try doing some single leg standing drills to strengthen your ankles. Simply balance on one leg for 1'. Close your eyes once in a while to make it harder. It sounds goofy but try it and see! <BR/> Something that worked very well for me over the years too was to get away from stability shoes and start improving my durability in regards to racing flats. I'm in a place now that allows me to wear any shoe for any number of miles. 5k racing flats for a marathon, no problem.. but I spent years simply doing shorter runs in light shoes and building to longer and longer runs. I also incorporated jump rope which strengthens the lower leg muscles better than anything!

Doing a 30 day round in each sport. I may have to save running for last as I have strength work to finish then moving to flexibility focus. but I think I can get it all in before I start my build up for racing season. Anyway, I enjoyed your blog. Some really nice insights as well as a little nudge on the 30 day focused training plan.acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700457140778271786noreply@blogger.com
