How hard can a 100m swim be? November 16, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , trackbackAfter taking 3 months off from training? Last night’s swim was quite hard… I looked at the workout(the coach wrote it on a paper) and it was only a 1900m swim using up one whole hour. The swims are usually 2000~2700m/hour so I thought it would be a recovery swim or something. But 3 months does make a difference…
The workout went like this: 200m warm up, 25m*8(backward medley) 1′00, 100m kick under water(3′00)+50m sculling(2′00)+100m swim(easy/hard/easy/hard, 2′00)+25m*2 medley(1′00), 4sets. And a 100m cool down.
I was breathing okay, but my arms and shoulders were out of shape, I guess. I just couldn’t push. It felt like I lost control of my arms. Sad but this is reality, I have to start again. Be optimistic and say it’s a chance to “reform” my form. Get rid of all the bad habits and stuff.
So, I’m expecting another tough swim next week but I’ll get used to it somehow, hehe. Good luck everyone!!!
