Ah but trust me, if you can't walk nor bike nor jog properly and it really does not totally matter where you bad leg goes in swimming (you can't get hurt, you just go slow), then you swim a lot!!!!

Today's 70 minute swim ended with:

2x800m

First 800m was two times 400IM back to back, second 800m was an 800IM. I am doing the 100IM, 200IM, 400IM, 800IM, 200 fly and 1500 free at provincials, so at least 1x per week I try to do all of those in a session except the 1500m free happens over all the free in the workout.

800IM + 400IM + 200IM +100IM equals 1500m

plus 1500m free is "only" a 3000m workout!!!!

I would agree, it's not standard, not to mention other pull sets like band only or band only with paddles.

That's a seriously fast set with that much kicking!!!! Well done! Was that kick with board or kick on back without board?

Today's workout was short......600m warmup free, 400IM alternate lengths hard, 100m easy, 30 seconds rest, 800IM (alternating 100's hard in each stroke), then 50 fly hard, 150m cool down. Total 2100m. I think I am slacking off because I have a bit of a "buffer" to get to 1200km for the year. Interesting how I got "work out of the way" when I thought I was behind and now that I am "ahead" work is getting in the way.

How do I rope you into the 10,000m end of year swim set. If you find a place in Montreal on the afternoon of 26 Dec I could do it then as I may be going to visit some friends in the morning!

3900y total, which included some pace 100's....

...Which brought me to a total of 1,000,320m for the year. I'm sure that I swam 2-3 x as much (or more) per year in my high school and college careers, but it's an okay number considering I'm in my mid-late 40's.

New approach next year: more pace work, less focus on distance (until OWS race season starts), and maybe trips to the various USMS Nationals (pool and OWS). No total distance goal, though.

NICE WORK!

Jeez you and Dev are killing that yearly volume. I only managed about 600k and am swimming almost as fast as ever at low-mid 40s.
Congrats on your year and I too have hopes of making some masters meets this next year. Maybe ill see you there.

Biggest day of the year since 100x100s in Feb.

"12 days of Xmas Workout", like the song.....except each "day" in the song is a 25...bonus points for singing the song after every interval

All on ~1:30/100 base with some fins work and extra rest after the longer sets


25
50, 25
75, 50, 25
100, 75, 50, 25
125, 100, 75, 50, 25
150, 125, 100, 75, 50, 25
175, 150, 125, 100, 75, 50, 25
200, 175, 150, 125, 100, 75, 50, 25
225, 200, 175, 150, 125, 100, 75, 50, 25
250, 225, 200, 175, 150, 125, 100, 75, 50, 25
275, 250, 225, 200, 175, 150, 125, 100, 75, 50, 25
300, 275, 250, 225, 200, 175, 150, 125, 100, 75, 50, 25

It is 9,100 total, takes roughly 2.5hrs at that pace

I always tend to have overall distance/volume goals for whatever I am doing. Its my mentality of getting to something big through consistency and repitition and I know if the goal is big enough that I can't miss too much. It forces daily/weekly focus to not allow for goose eggs.

Next year, I am hoping for 1000km swimming + 10000km of cycling if my rehab stays on track. I have been able to ride OK this fall and on the trainer, so if that keeps up, then maybe I can trade some time I spent this year in the car commuting to work and the pool to just riding to the pool and work . I am also moving the office of my tech startup to a location that it is close enough to bike commute from home to office, office to pool, pool to office, office to home. If I can do 30-35 weeks where I am getting around 150km commuting around and not in the car, that's could be up to 5000km of free bike mileage. This year I am ending up with 1200km of swimming and 4000 km of cycling and that's losing a large chunk of 2 months of summer biking after being run over by a bus....so hopefully next year is better. If I can actually get back to running properly, then I'll adjust this to 1000km swim, 1000km run, 8000km bike (total 10,000km).

Hey maybe we can ask Ericthebiking to create that swim+run 100 days challenge. So what did we agree on for minimum swim distance? Was it 1500m to correspond roughly to a 30 min run?

I should be at jog/shuffle number 5 by end of the day. As for the swimming well I have no choice other than to be at the full quota.

I've been using 1500y, yes. I've also been using the short+long= 2xMed rule. I have NOT done a double day, yet.

So far it's you, me and TC.

The next 5 days (after today) are gonna be goose eggs on the swim for me. The only water I will be near is a no-swim lake. I'm taking some stretch chords... So, maybe I'll get a session in or two.

I'll probably miss a run or two, as well.
