Joe's Workout Of The Week

Here is Joe's little workout of the week Once again I apologize for the formatting.  The numbers to the right are how many times you swim the part.  Like 3x500's on 6 minutes (yeah, Joe is crazy) or 8x25's fly (yeah, he's getting crazier).  The whole workout is 3,850 yards.  OUCHIE!

My name is Joe Denton, I am a 41 year old swimmer in Seattle Washington.  I've been swimming competitively since I was 11 (with an 8 year break in the middle somewhere) and find the pleasure to be worth the sacrifice.  I swim with a  few local master's teams in the Seattle area and also on my own due to scheduling conflicts.  Because of that, I end up writing a lot of my own workouts which is something I've recently discovered I really enjoy.  I end up reading a lot about the training techniques that are being developed and in my free time watch training videos on YouTube and other sites. My workouts tend to focus on stroke as I am primarily and IM'er, but I also do a fair amount of distance free training as I swim a few open water distance events as well (but those workouts tend to be in the spring/summer).
