1st Monday of the New Year and right away Martin had us back in the pool to get our training back on track after the holidays. We're officially 3 months away until the event!
After swimming the 50 meters distance, going back to the 25yds should be a piece of cake... so I thought. Sigh! The good thing is I am feeling like I can bear the endurance a bit more but swimming easier is not quite clicking. I tried breathing on both sides again and I ended up swallowing a bunch of water so I stuck to my usual right side breathing. I think the problem tonight was that there were more people sharing the lane so I also had to figure out how to slow my pace (haha, did I just say that??) and learn how to deal with coming up on a swimmer ahead of me. Obviously good practice going into an event where there will be lots of people swimming at the same time. I did actually do the entire swim set even though I did take a few breaks here and there.
200yd warm-up
Drill:
6x75 kick set (kick, drill, swim) = 450
5-4-3-2-1-0 fingertip drill pyramid= 300
Main set:
(100yd easy & 50yd hard) x3 = 450
25yd x8 easy = 200
Interval training:
50ydx4 with the rest break decreasing = 200
200yd cool down
Total swim= 2,000yds (Whoa! The yds add up!)
Aloha,
L
