Last week I swam twice. Each time I would warm up for 500 yards then do my version of drills for another 500. First I did a set of 25 on 25 recovery. The second day I did 50 on 50 recovery.
Today I decided to move up to 100’s. I warmed up with 500 then did 5 x 100s with 60 second recoveries.
Swimming hard for 100 yard is tough. Trying to focus on technique is even harder.
I did first 100 was 1:30 and then dropped with my last rep at 1:40.
My main goal is to swim twice a week and try to make it to masters swim on sundays. I am still at the novice level of swimming and looking for the masters to straighten me out.
By the way I found a great new podcast/website that discusses triathlon swimming at: www.triswimcoachonline.com. They are also on iTunes.
