I've been through a rough patch with a reoccurrence of an injury/condition. But dammit I will abwork my way out of this. The superman and hold-crunch exercises have become my friends. I'm feeling the difference already!! I splashed about this morning - and I even did a pain-free flipturn!! 😳

Here's a trivia question: Is 800m a middle distance or a long distance? (I know I know...."Who cares? It's 800m.") This is important! 😂 There seems to be conflicting views on this subject. I say middle, because even a shmuck like me did 12:50. How is that long? And it is the 3000m run equivalent - which is most often deemed middle.

I only swim.
I used to run. (31:09 10k.)
I never did Triathlon. (Sue me.)

Some good sub minute per 100 swimming there Adrian, nice to have fresh arms for a change. Speaking of which, what a difference one day can make. Took yesterday off completely and today drove to the only pool open for the holiday, low but hot(84)..Felt like a million pesos, didnt even push but all my times were like 4 seconds a 100 faster with same effort levels..

That’s a distance one imo. I think swimmers view 2 and 4 as middle and some view 4 and up as distance. 400 is a distance event as need to be really fit

1k warm up and 1k warm down

4k set as 2x200 300 200 100 free on 125 then back stroke 4x100 300 200 10 on 135 then 11223344 free / IM on 125 / 130. Steady not hard and finish with 550 400IM happy with that effort given for time result. On the right track.
