Our coaches weren't kidding when they said that they wer going to increase our workouts this week! Based on how I'm feeling right now... Phew, it's working!
1/31/11 Swim workout:
I do have to say that I still love my pull buoy and I joked with Martin that I was going to figure out how to swim with it on race day!
200yd warm up
8x75 kick/drill/swim (drill: side kicks - I had fins this time but I still felt like I was sinking. Martin said to kick harder which helped.)
Pull set (pyramid):
50-100-200-200-100-50 (yards) using pull buoy & paddles and between each set there's a hard 50 in between
200yd cool down
Total swim: 2,000yds
2/1/11 Run workout at Foothill College:
My arms were already sore from last night why not make my legs hurt to balance everything out! We first listened to our honoree, Don Fleming talk about his experience with cancer. Then it was off to do our track pyramid.
1 lap (400yds), 20 crunches
2 laps (800yds), 20 crunches, 20 lunges
3 laps (1200yds), 20 crunches, 20, lunges, 20 pushups
4 laps (1600yds), 20 crunches, 20 lunges, 20 pushups, 20second hold in plank position
Think we're done... Nope, then we head back down the pyramid starting with another 4 laps and so on and so on.
This workout (or however many you can complete) was to be completed in 60 minutes. Once the time was up, I was short 2 laps to have completed the entire workout set.
Total miles = 4.5 miles
We've had a good 2 days of workouts!! I'm resting tomorrow and maybe the rest of the week until Saturday!!
Aloha
