    I got my workout in last night. I headed to the pool early to get the whole thing in before my aquafitness class. It's great MsJ. I can feel that I am pushed, but when I get to the end, I also feel like I accomplished something that I wouldn't have required myself to do. Those back kick drills are no fun (plus I am still not great at tracking myself on my back), but it's all good. Thanks again, and stay safe!!

    Ms. J - from where I sit I think you're doing great, but to be honest I'd be deferring to you were I looking to do more than coach a summer rec team for kids. You have obviously really taken a lot from the training you took to coach, & that coupled with your experience as a swimmer is a great combination which makes you a fantastic resource for the people here......

    I still haven't had a chance to do mine, but I promise I will. I've been struck down with strep throat so it will probably be another week before I'm back in the pool (negotiations with doctor depending). I just wanted to let you know that you didn't go to all that trouble for an ungrateful soandso!

    I'm still here but have a lot on my plate right now (all good but time consuming). Please stand by.

    No worries MS_J1
    Haven't even gotten round to doing the second run with the 1st one you sent yet!
    So no rush at all!

    Hi I'd love this

    1. What are your swim goals (specifically and/or generally),

    To improve speed and make it through another competitive season without needing surgery on small tear in subscapularis and subluxation of bicep tendon! Another season of gold medals would be great but just staying in one piece would be good at this stage lol

    2. What stroke(s) do you swim or prefer to swim,

    I swim all strokes but favour backstroke then freestyle. Compete in 50 100 and 200 back 100 200 and 400 free 100 br and 100 and 200 IM


    3. How many yards/meters you are currently capable of swimming (for the stroke you swim or prefer to swim) per workout

    2500 to 3000m per session mixed

    4. Your 100 yards/meters pace (if you know it) of the stroke you swim or prefer to swim OR how long it takes you to swim the distance you swim in a typical workout.

    Personal best times as below
    100m free 1.13
    100m back 1.22
    100m br 1.39
    100m fly probably 1.43
    100m IM 1.24

    1. What are your swim goals (specifically and/or generally),

    Did huge amount of training last year and got good results. Lost my MoJo and am keen for it to return.

    To get back to endurance fitness at a quick pace. Generally race between 2km - 10km

    2. What stroke(s) do you swim or prefer to swim,

    Freestyle, with a little bit of backstroke to ease the shoulders at the end

    3. How many yards/meters you are currently capable of swimming (for the stroke you swim or prefer to swim) per workout

    5km workout would be okay

    4. Your 100 yards/meters pace (if you know it) of the stroke you swim or prefer to swim OR how long it takes you to swim the distance you swim in a typical workout.

    For interval training (of 20 x 100m) I'd be doing 1m40s for 100m now, but hopefully get back to 1m35s quickly and then pushing it when fit 1m30s
