The Hardest Part of Joe's Workout This Week Is The Workout...

 

1	x1000	300 Swim, 200K, 300 Pull, 200 Drill IM
4	x200	Pull, alt back/free by 100
4	x150	50 free, 50 kick, 50 stroke
4	x100	50 kick, 50 drill
4	x100	1-2 stroke: fast, kick moderate by 50 / 3-4 free: Hypoxic, EZ by 50
4	x50	stroke build
1	x200	EZ

Pretty basic workout… lots of drill and kick  - we all love those drill and kick sets.

Hardest part will be the 4x100s.  the first four are stroke, fast first 50 then a moderate kick.  You’ll feel the legs really burn after a while.  The second two are no breath (or as few as you can) and then easy by 50.

 FUN times!

Joe

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).
