Did you swim today?

Hypothesis: a couple of weeks with less strict nutrition and less training will not significantly adversely affect swimming performance.
Experimental design: spend the best part of three weeks scoffing junk food and doing sweet FA in the way of exercise.
Conclusion: incorrect
Oops.....Feck!4 -

A nice drill set that gives you a feel of how small changes can have a big effect on overall performance,
Flip Turn Practise - I need a lot more help.
Don't have a consistent natural rhythm yet, flip early, flip late, breathing off cycle, do a 1/4 rotation while flipping so I end up facing sideways when I go to pushoff ( turning head while flipping ). Need to just do more turns in my daily Avg Exercise swim. Still better than I was last year so a work in progress. Us old dogs can still learn a few new tricks.2 -
4 miles yesterday.
Swimming after work today.1 -
Early morning splash. Wahoo Swim Club had 2 lanes so we were crowded - still managed to get in my 40 lengths-1000m.1

1-5 with 15s rest
6-10 with 10s rest
11-15 with 5s rest
16-20 with 15s rest
We did a similar set the other night. It went something like this
8x50 holding a 45 second pace + 15 second rest
8x50 holding a 40 second pace + 15 second rest
8x 50 holding a 35 second pace + 15 second rest
I managed to do the first two sets (keeping a 45 and 40 pace). On the 3rd I managed 3 at 35 but did the others at whatever I could manage in the 50second interval.
And that was just the core set. There were other sets with paddles and pull buoys but all 50s.

3000 @ 59 minutes. Now I remember why I try and get my workouts done during the week and avoid Saturday mornings.2

4 miles swim followed by a 45 minute spun class. Wasn't sure I'd pull off the spin class. But managed to average 208W for the class and held 300W climbing through Thriller. Max heart rate 142.
Spinning class is the only thing I use an HRM during.0 -
@fishgutzy I bow before the cardio king.1

I wouldn't even try. I can do a 50 second lap if I really push it. But I can't sustain it for long.
Fastest I can sustain for 2000 yards is about 55 seconds per 50.1 -

3500 yards @ 75 minutes and I do love a good pull set.0
-
45 minutes at lunch. 4-5 per lane so a challenging circle swim/crowd.0

For some reason your comment about a crowded pool made me think of this....

Swam 1 mile @ 57 min.0

3500 @ 75 minutes. Note to self, don't try and breathe water...not a good idea.2
-
Swam 2.5km in 68 minutes. I always do one length crawl then one length breast stroke just to work all the muscles. Oh and thanks for the heads up on the group Monte.2

Yes Welcome to the water rats @xDesertxRatx
Adult Swim Club started up for November last night 60 minutes of drills.
One of my favorite 60 strokes Time-distance.
When we started I said 1:10-1:14 and 62 - 69m.
They laughed but all 3 sets were 2m of the distance and at the pace I stated. .
Didn't take notes but lots of Kick, Pull, drill and then swim lengths for each stroke. Probably 2000m based on Avg swims in the club.1 -

Ha HA. No such rule at the pool I swim at in China. I'm not fast but I pass almost everyone in that pool. One woman doing a very slow breast stroke I passed every other lap but she didn't even have to good sense to get out of the 'fast' lane. Most of the time I was passing people every 3 or 4 laps.1 -
Yesterday: 3000 yds, 70 minutes. Haven't done that distance in almost two months and it felt great!1
-
2400m with masters
400 as 100 free 100 back 100 free 100 br

During the warmdown my coach told me that my freestyle technique needs fixing. He thinks I overextend especially on my right arm and is going to video me on Saturday to show me how bad my stroke is!1 -
