4100m this morning with my swim buddy. And it was tough!
and that is why having a training buddy is such a good thing. They push you and you push them.
I forgot to post on Thursday night, 1800m of drills - lots of backstroke and some butterfly - which I don't do as my left shoulder screams loudly at me for a few days if I do more than 1-2 lengths.
I have always struggled with what the coach's call 6 Kick switch; 6 kicks - one freestyle stroke, repeat.
My right side is fine - on the left I tend to submarine which makes breathing a challenge.
But if I change it to what some consider to be a harder drill ; 6 Kick switch with Catch up ( Touch hands before pulling stroke ) I am fine.
So my plan is to do alternate lengths of Catch up/Switch allowing me time to recover after Switch and slowly improve my technique. The whole concept of drills is to isolate a movement and improve it so any small modification that helps a good thing.
One of my fellow swim club members was in Calgary, AB for work meetings last week and stumbled on A Triathlon Club swim training open night. He only managed to complete 2700m of the clubs 4000m workout and was gassed. Made him realize that they trained at a level of intensity that he had never experienced.2 -

I live that every day that I'm in China away from my family. Swimming helps keep me same.0 -
1km this morning - very slow with many stops. Blasted a bit this weekend with BodyCombat and BodyPump so was a kind of recovery swim.
Signed up to a triple 5km in March 2019. 3 x 5km swims over 3 days. Now thinking about getting my pace up for it. Medium is less than 2 hours, but fast is 1hr30 - not quite there yet - think I can shave 10 mins off my time in 3 months? haha1
