A killer swim February 3, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentI don't know why but I'm really having a hard time trying to get to my own blog. When I try blogging at night, it doesn't work…But, I've still been training, A LOT for the swim.
Wednesday: After school, I went for my first workout on the trainer. I probably posted this workout before because it was on a magazine last summer but it went like this. 10min warm up, 3min*3(60~80rpm) one leg drills(right, left, both legs), 10min(50~60rpm) pedaling with the heaviest gear on your bike, 2min hard 1min easy*3(hard 100~120rpm, easy 100-rpm) then cool down for 10min and the short little workout is done. I needed this short workout so that I could study before I go to the pool.
I went to the pool afterwards with my mtb, 20km. Swam 2300m. 250m warm up, 50m making the streamline, 50m*2 one hand drills, 50m*2 scarling(is that right?)+100m form*2. Then the next 30min was intervals. 50m*10(1:00 descending, the thing where you have to make your time faster every 50m), 100m*5(2:00, again, descending), 500m*1(descending, every 100m). That felt easy though, after swimming everyday I'm getting used to things;-)
Thursday: Same trainer workout as yesterday except the warm up and cool down were 5min each, so the workout was 38min. Studied Math and Modern Literature and then went for the Thursday Killer Swim. Did a total of 4100m and I don't know if I could write the stuff I did because I had some short memory loss from too much swimming, hehe. I'll do my best. 400m warm up, 50m*16 swim(1:00), 100m*3 kick(3:15), 50m*5swim(1:00), 200m*3 pull with pads(4:00), 100m*3 pull(2:00) and the weird intervals. 100m*1(1:50)+25m*4(0:40), rest 30sec, 100m(2:00)*3, 50m*1 sprint, 25m*4 sprint, 400m cool down. Wow that was a lot, I think I was drooling from all the tiredness after the swim, it was a nice day.
Today, I think I'll have pretty much the same thing as yesterday.
