Had to take last week out of the pool and off running with horrible bronchitis. Was on antibiotics and could only lift weights and ride the trainer. Swam again today:
1000wu various stuff
20x100 pull/paddles on 1:30 hold 1:19
4x200 long/smooth pull with paddles on 3:00 hold 2:43
200cd

Then, tonight, ran a very easy 5mi and lifted weights. Yesterday I did my first long run in a while (10mi) and I'm pretty sore today. Amazing how quick long run endurance disappears when you're injured. Hadn't been able to run more than 45min in over a month.

Have not posted in a while. Last two swim were on my own so I went with a few Sets from Masters just tweeked to my current fitness level.

Sunday (trying to make this the equivalent to a 2x20 bike workout effort):

(SCM pool)

Warm up, 300meters of drills and descending 50's.

Main set:
4x100 (leave on 1:40)
2x200 (leave on 3:20)
1 x 400 (leave on 6:60)
2x200 (leave on 3:20)
4x100 (leave on 1:40)

I was consistently swimming at 1:31's for the 100's and 1:32/3 for the 200 and 400. Next time I do this set I will decrease the rest on the 400.

200 easy cool down, swimming with right hand fist. In the final 6 intervals I was really feeling my left catch, like I was grabbing the water not just going through the motion, felt good.




Monday (last night, trying to make this like a V02 max workout):

500 warm up. 10x50

Main set: All on 2min per 100m. So a fair bit of rest on every set. Push hard, but keeping stroke count

4x50 (swam these at :40/:41)
4x100 (swam these at 1:26/7)
4x200 (swam these at 2:59, 2:57, 2:58, 3:00)
4x100 (swam at 1:27/8)
4x50 (swam at :42/3 in a world of hurt.)

cool down, 10 by 50 easy swim (:50's)

This was painful. On the last 100 of the two hundreds I would have to really focus on keeping my stroke together. I tried to focus on the recovering arm entering the water, reaching a few inches forward with finger tips slightly down, then reaching over the barrel to start my catch. The point was to have no, or very little, pause in the front of my stroke.

I do find at that effort I add 1-2 strokes to my lengths compared to the effort on Monday.

Are you posting the March fish thread? My goal is to do a single 2000m swim all band pull no buoy. Last month I got up to 1000m. Body position is getting better with hips and legs closer to surface. I feel when I get my legs back into the next set it is like swimming with propellers on!

Dude, you're insane! I could probably muster 75 yds band only. I feel my right shoulder weaken after a few sets of 50.
