Pushing It To The Brink - Friday Nite Swim
Friday, February 12, 2010
I figured by tonight I'd be recovered from yesterdays swim but not from this afternoons run. Boy was I wrong as both hit me like a two ton truck! I even moved down to the medium lane to survive. I had no problem making the intervals but I was sloppy and lazy at times. I did do a decent 300 swim out of the whole workout. Workout was only 60 minutes but still it was a bit tough for me. No swimming tomorrow!
Warmed Up
300 (I think, I was goofing off)
4x75's IM order 25 kick / 25 drill / 25 swim (300/600)
250 New Sorta Drill. To the deep end pulling but water polo style heads up the to the shallow end kicking using the pull buoy as a kickboard. That killed my lower back. Thought I was going to be crippled after that swim. (250/850)
300 Pull breathing 3/5/3/7/3/5 by 50 (300/1150) I never really do well in breath control sets but tonight I felt exceptionally bad. Had to pull back and stretch it out.
Main Set:
3x100's on 1:40 (fast lane 1:30) 1 IM / 1 Stroke (did back) / 1 IM
50 easy on 55
300 Free on 4:00 Felt like crap during this 300. I started off at a decent clip but after about a 100 I was feeling the last few workouts. I started to pull back and take it easy.
50 easy on 55
3x100's on 1:40 (fast lane 1:30) 1 IM / 1 Stroke (did back) / 1 IM
50 easy on 55
300 Free on 4:00 Since we were almost done I tried my best to do a descent 300 here. It wasn't my best but I put all I could into it. Really tried to hold myself and my stroke together.
50 easy on 55
3x100's on 1:40 (fast lane 1:30) 1 IM / 1 Stroke (did back) / 1 IM (1700/2850)
Then I did a 50 easy. Got out showerd and cycled home. Felt good to cycle home. Total yardage 2,900 for 60 minute workout.
