I had an interesting set this morning. I was tired of 25x100 type stuff so I asked my coach to change it up. I've been sick of late and apparently have no lung capacity. After an 800m warmup he had me do
4x200
1st 50 - breathe every 5th stroke
2nd 50 - every 4th
3rd - every 3rd
4th - every other
I also had windsprints
8x50
1st 25 - Sprint without breathing (never made it, though my pace dropped to 1:19/100 from my normal 1:38...can you tell I lift my head and sink my legs to breathe?!)
2nd 25 - easy swim
Overall I had a lot of fun, even though I suck at breathing. You'd think I'd be better at something I had been practicing for 38 years!
