150 LCM Breaststroke? Is This Some Sort of Sick Joke?
Sunday, January 03, 2010
Day two of the New Year and boy is my body taking a beating. Since we have the chance to swim Long Course Meters on Sunday morning I am doing my best to wake up and get to the pool while it lasts. I love long course swimming and I know that it is good for my training so I need to swim LCM more. Today I jumped in the stroke lane instead of the freestyle lane since it was the least crowded. That and being out of shape I figured an IM/Stroke workout would be a great way to engage my full body and get me back into shape quicker.
Warmed Up a 450
Warm Up Set
4x50's Kick 10 secs rest
4x50's Drill 10 secs rest 1 of each stroke
2x100's Kick 1 secs rest (600/1050)
Main Set:
2x150's Breaststroke on 3:00 (okay I cheated and tossed some fly in here. not that much but a bit) (300)
2x100's Free on 1:30 (i think this is what we did, it's a blur) (200500)
1x200 IM (i don't remember the interval but it was plenty of rest before moving on) (200/700)
3x100's Back on 2:00 (300/1000)
2x100's Free on 1:30 (200/1200)
200 IM once again don't remember the interval (200/1400)
4x50's Fly on 60 (200/1600)
200 Free and this is when my lane mate and i fell apart. he did a 100 of this 200 and then i only did a 100 of the following im. (200/1800)
200 IM (or 100 fly/back for me) (200/2000/3050)
Then I did a 100 warmdown and called it a day. 3150 LCM. Not bad for just getting back in the swim of things. Could have been worse and could have been better. Still hacking a bit from the cold I've been battling all week. I figure by the end of this new week I'll be back swimming and all better. Just in time to kill myself with running. So need to get back at running.
