The unpredictable February 25, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentThe normal day at school other than I had a small headache in the afternoon but it was better by the end of school. I came back home at 4:30pm and while I was daydreaming, it was already 6pm and I washed my swim shorts and headed to the swimming pool. Yeah, it was a bit tough but not like a month ago…
The swim: It was some speed training. 400m warm up, 25m*4 sprints(PR+1.2sec), 50m*8 kick sprints(1:30), 3sets of 100m sprint(2:30)&25m*4 sprint without diving(0:40). 50m easy then, another 25m*4 faster than the first sprint. 12.5m*4 start sprints, 25m*4 turn sprints, 100m cool down. The PR+1.2sec sprint was fairly easy and the second 25m*4 sprints were pretty easy too. I'm not getting enough out of swimming these days. Not really tired right now either, maybe it was yesterday's nap. The kick sprints were just fine, I was suprised because I was able to go 1min10sec and not pant. The hardest part was the turn sprints, I was told to do flip turns, and as you know, I suck at it. Barely kicked the wall… I know I'm not pushing myself enough when the flip turns are the hardest part of the workout, hehe. Swam a total of 1900m.
Tomorrow: Go for a morning swim, hope it kills me this time. After that, get on the trainer and do three sets of the 30~40min interval menu and then eat lunch. After that, go get my racing number for Sunday's marathon and then go back to the pool to swim my butt off.
