Swim workout
Skipped the swim workout last Friday. Had a late business dinner and ate some seriously rich foods that would have made the workout miserable. My first missed workout in two weeks, I think I can justify it.
Back in the pool this morning for the first time in a week. Was dreading it, but ended up enjoying the workout. We started with a 3x400 warm-up (400 swim, 400 kick, 300 pull). Ran out of time on the last 400.
The second set was 20x50 broken up into 4 sets of 5x50. The first three were descending, and then the last we were able to provide extra rest (5x50 1:05, 5x50 1:00, 5x50 :55, 5x50 1:10). Then onto the kicking. We did 8x100 kick broken up into 2 sets of 4x100 (100 easy, 50 easy/50 hard, 50 easy/50 hard, 100 hard).
The last set was 3x400 lungbusters, breathing on the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th stroke. Who needs oxygen? I used paddles for the first time with this set. Very interesting the way they make you stroke cleanly and efficiently. I ended up completing 2x400 before I ran out of time.
Total yardage for the session was 3700. Not too bad.
