Back to the long course pool this AM. Endurance Focus

WU: 200 swim/200IM/200 kick
Prep: 4x150(kick/drill/swim), 8x50 pull
MS: 4x200 IM @ 4:00, 200 easy
4x200 free descending 1-4 @ 3:30, 200 easy(skull/pull)
CD: 200 easy

3800 LCM. That was a toughie.

My fly has really improved after I did a few technical sessions with the head coach.
That being said, my breast is pretty brutal. Especially on long course IM. It seems to activate a bit of elbow tendonitis I had years ago.
Always something to work on...

I'm not a fan of cricket, and that is my name (don't work for a real estate company either...)

Ha!!! We got you. Your just a baby, barley able to drink(legally) and you are a pretty good flyer. (at the very least) And you live in Scotland, or at least compete there...


That didn't take long....(-

I was going to try your set you did yesterday, but got in and just felt like crap, so another day. Just swam through this mess;

5x100@1;40(1;23 to 1;19)
5x100IM kick@2;00(1;55 to 1;49)
7x200p@3;00(2;39/38/36/35/34/32/29)
6x50 dolphin@1;10(;59 to 1;01)
4x50 buoy@1;00(39's)
2900SCY

Yep you got me, didn't make it too hard for you all though, I'm honestly surprised you didn't try googling my username, you can find quite a bit from that.

My best times are here: https://swimmingresults.org/...e=A&tiref=863218

Haha, been able to drink a wee bit longer than if I lived stateside ;) but yeah I'm pretty much a baby compared to some of the guys on here

Then 8mi tempo run

You know the old threads I miss, the bike fits ones in a guys garage, and over 1/2 the posts were commenting on the garage and whatever was in the background, the finest details..So I was looking at your swim yesterday and saw this detail;

2 x (7 x 100 @ 1:40, held 1:19-20

So how is what you swam different than 14x100's@1;40? I could understand if it was two descending sets, resetting at 8, but seems you just swam them all the same??


Still in my funk, muddled through some yardages to keep current;


500/400/300/200/100 buoy@1;30(7;15/5;40/4;10/2;43/1;18)
5x100IM kick@2;00(1;55 to 1;49)
500p@7;30 easy(6;43)
10x50 brest free@1;00-6 swim(45/43/42/41/40/38)4 kick(52's)
3000SCY

Yeah, no one ever comments on wallpaper or the guys cat on the windowsill anymore.

I read it as 7x100 on 1:40, break, then another 7x100 on 1:40

ETA. Just read a disconcerting email from masters swimming Canada (MSC). Seems that Swimming Canada and the Provincial Swimming Organizations are severing ties with MSC, so losing sanctioning status. What that means, I really don’t know. Could be that there’s no national championship next year, but it seems like it’s all up in the air and no one has an actual plan.

What is this break thingy you speak of?? (-;
