All freestyle (in yards): 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 1500, 1000, 500, 250 in 14 minutes...
Plan (tentatively) is to stick to freestyle this week to shake the rest of the rust off & start doing IM's next week, although if I'm feeling strong enough Thursday or Friday I might move the timetable up.....
Welcome back Mac, and I'm pretty sure you did not cover that yardage in 14 min. Lol
His times and distances are impressive

1750m workout - warmup, drills, sprints and cool down. Decided to actually time my sprints - somewhere in the last few months I've lost 4-5secs on my 50m sprint time. 0

That's a huge drop over 50m. Great job!0 -
YES, 1 MILE@ 33 MIN.0

Fantastic time drop, Kida_Adeylne, nice work!!!!
Great swim, Bruce!!!!
Stuck to the plan & stayed with all freestyle today - arms were heavy: 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 1500, 1000, 500, 250 yards in 114 minutes. Probably sticking to freestyle again tomorrow, then I'll see how I feel in the water Thursday & Friday. The plan is still to stick to all freestyle this week & start IM's next week, but if I'm feeling really good I might try them this week to see where I'm at......0 -
2.5 km 54:50
A personal best at the new stroke rate and close to an overall PB!
It's hard not to draw a direct correlation to my starting sprint sets last week!
On overall time, I guess I can now say I have completely adjusted to the new stroke rate, though not on the aerobic end of things, as the tumble turns are still few and far between, as I need to keep stopping for breath!
Milestone all the same!0 -
6000 again

Great work Gutzy & Juliet.....
I did NOT get to swim today, although I dragged my sorry *kitten* out of bed & went down to the pool the lifeguard thought it would be a great day to sleep in. Unfortunately, so did the rest of the lifeguards, the pool manager & the gym manager because none of them answered the phone when the very nice woman at the reception desk repeatedly tried to call all of them.....0 -

That is supremely irritating! Sorry about that!Great work Gutzy & Juliet.....

Had that happen a couple times. After the first time I learned to always bring weight room clothes just in case I'm forced to change plans.AquaticQuests wrote: »

I used to do that, but I would rather walk outdoors (weather permitting) or on the treadmill at home.
Yay lifeguard!!! The one scheduled today made it, but then again she's been there awhile & knows we're there at opening. The usual freestyle today: 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 1500, 1000, 500, 250 (6500 yards) in 114 minutes. If I feel as good tomorrow as I did today I might try the IM workout, I'm curious to see where I'm at. Choice #1 is to be able to do exactly what I was doing before, choice #2 is to get the same yardage in even if I have to split some of the 200 IM's into 100's, choice #3 is to muddle through & do whatever I can....0 -

Great time that Robertus - and you say you've been away from swimming? My word!Yes, 3 miles continuous in 105 minutes.
Good job roly1750 metres x 45 minutes.

Yet again, another great round of swimming posts, nice work all!!!!
Choice #1 won out - I was able to do my full workout with the IM's that I was doing before the layoff. It was by no means as easy as it was when I left off, but it also was nowhere near as bad as I expected it to be. However, if I post nothing for the rest of the day it means I couldn't lift my arms up to type....lol. All kidding aside, I should be good - everything feels ok. The muscles in my arms & shoulders are a little tired, but that's all I'm feeling from it.
Today's workout: 250 free, 500 free, 1000 free, 5 x 200 I.M., 200 free, 3 x 200 I.M., 2 x 100 I.M., 1000 free, 500 free, 250 free in 97 minutes.....
Now I should be back to alternating my workouts - 1 day the same as today & the other the all freestyle pyramid workout.....0 -
1600m - 100 breast, 100 back, 200 free x 4 sets
Finally a backstroke, it's not real pretty but it's 399m more than I could do before.0 -
Thanks! Yes, back in late November when I decided to try once again to get back in shape, I could barely do three laps and was at least 75 lbs overweight post foot surgery, which ended any hope of getting back to long-distance running, which was by far and away my favorite exercise. Swimming is boring and less convenient but no-impact, obviously, so it was a great option. I swam on the high school swim team Freshman year so I already had a half-way decent stroke.AquaticQuests wrote: »

Today 1600m : 200 free,100 back and 100 Breast x3 + 400m of drills.I did NOT get to swim today, although I dragged my sorry *kitten* out of bed & went down to the pool the lifeguard thought it would be a great day to sleep in.
It's frustrating when you "drag your #ss to the pool and it is closed. Usually for us its due to a mechanical failure - standing in reception and the chlorine vapours are killer you know that it will be closed for the day until they get the chemicals re-balanced.
Wow Impressive distance especially continuous.Yes, 3 miles continuous in 105 minutes.
Imspirational. Now that I have a backstroke will be adding it into the mix.Today's workout: 250 free, 500 free, 1000 free, 5 x 200 I.M., 200 free, 3 x 200 I.M., 2 x 100 I.M., 1000 free, 500 free, 250 free in 97 minutes....Bruceapple wrote: »Today: 2 miles 67 minutes
Looking forward to getting to half of the Distance's Robertus,Bruce and Mac are putting in.
The Pool Lane swim is only 60 minutes so its hard to get the distances.0 -
Back in the pool properly and back mfp again after a bit of a break - life and body woes (and even computer woes!) got the better of me.... Glad to be back and looking forward to catching up all the posts I have missed...
Been having some Alexander technique based swimming lessons - v interesting and will tell you all more .
Gosh am I a happier bunny now I'm getting my chlorine fix again!0
