It’s rare that I get a quality long swim workout in. I usually do something before, or a run planned after. Tonight I did a focused swim workout.
- 1 x 400 (:20 swim as desired, include some technique work
8 x 25 (:15 Drilling (swimming technique work)
2 x 200 (:20 Pull – focus on the arms/pull, try to take the same or less strokes on each successive 50.
8 x 50 (:20 Kick – focus on the legs/kick, try to hold a moderate to fast effort.
4 x 25 (:45 Fast efforts
1 x 800 (:20 with last 200 at a slightly faster effort.

1 x 400 (:20 with last 100 at a slightly faster effort.
1 x 200 (:20 with last 50 at a slightly faster effort.

It took me 75min to complete. On the drive home I tried to make my children appreciate the goodness that is Wilco. I’m not sure they were digin it as much as I was.
