Because of lots of “angst” at work, last nights tri-club swim was swum with some attitude. The 250 swims were done at pace, which meant coming in around 3:20 (or 1:20 100 meter pace). Set Distance Cumulative Description 250 250 250 EZ swum 1, 2, 3 and 4 length swims 1 x 250 250 500 …
Last night’s session was essentially 5 x 400 but swum in different ways – so it didn’t “feel” like 5 x 400. We did the second one at a brisk pace (mine 5:35 I think) and then the a set of 100 repeats supposedly on a quicker pace – because they were 100s – which …
Friday’s session included a 400 and 200 FR swim, and whilst not timed, I did do a bit of checking the clock – to compare against what’s happening on Wednesdays. And the result was that I was swimming at a “good pace”. The 400 was a little over 5:30 and the 200, well that was …
This Wednesday saw a timed 800M as the main set. Given the “debacle” of last week’s 400M this was an opportunity to swim a bit better than last time. And I did. But it still wasn’t particularly speedie. Perhaps that’s because of the drag shorts – who knows – but the headline time was 11:24 …
The main set this last Friday evening was a 12 x 100 set and of those the first four were swum as freestyle. We did these on 1:40, which meant not necessarily a great deal of rest but enough given that we were only swimming four of these. What I found interesting was the times …
Last night we had timed 400 thrown into the mix. And, well, it was pretty slow. Which is disappointing, coming in with 5:49, which is 1:27 pace, which is a bit poor! Perhaps I can blame my drag shorts and it was really 5:30. But not the best, really. Set Distance Cumulative Description 1 x …
Just to keep my log up to date, and by way of full disclosure. Went to Macc last Friday and have completely forgotten what we did. I think it was around the 3.75K mark, but what we swam… who knows!!
Last night’s session was short in terms of distance and because of this I decided to put a bit more into the main swim portions. Starting from the warm up (with repeats on 3:15, we dropped this to 3:00 – still comfortable warm up pace). And this moved on to the main swim sections (200 …
Friday was a good session and showed the difference between wearing drag shorts and not – at least it did when I am swimming well. I ended up swimming in lane 8 – the fast lane, as the slowest of four. So I needed to swim fast (for me) just to make sure I wasn’t …
Last nights session included some drill / technique work as various people had asked for help with tumble turns. This meant that the actual swim session was much shorter than usual – because doing half length and turns takes time. In terms of actual swimming it was a straight forward 2K set.
