 422  , Pennsylvania |  Subject: 05.30.2019 Thursday BRICK IT UPWhat is before the butt crack of dawn? Onto the trainer for a 60 minute spin. Good spin with good cadence. Immediately into the shoes and out the door for 30 minutes (4 miles) run. Love me some 97% humidity in the mornings!!! Have a great day, Steve |

Later today will be 1800 yds. I fully expect these 1800 yards to be the exact same time as my last 1800 yards. I do a 400 yard warm up they 1200 yards of intervals. I start the next interval at a set time regardless of how long the previous one took. If I go a little faster I get a little more rest between sets. If I go a little slow I have to pick up the pace on the next set or I won't get any rest. I then do a 200 yard cool down. So there can be a lot of variation with the send out times being fixed they all tend to be pretty close to each other in time. The last time I was in the pool my goggles were leaking. That put me 4 minutes behind but other than that everything went like clockwork.

Master 8249 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: 05.30.2019 Thursday BRICK IT UP I am an expert at doing swims in the same time. Monday and Wednesday my 1800 yards was exactly the same (31:35--full disclosure; most of it with fins). And right now I am not even really looking at my watch except to note total swim time at the end, so it's not deliberate at all. Several times I've swum within a few seconds of my split at the same race two years in a row. I guess I am nothing if not consistent, even now in my state of hideous, lopsided, fin-dependent swimming. I actually can swim 50 yards or so without them, and probably swim further than 1800, but sticking to half hour-ish sessions and fins until my stroke feels more normal and comfortable. Just trying to slowly increase the proportion of freestyle (right now it is 1000 yards; the rest is breaststroke and dolphin kick) and length of each swim interval. Pulling down at nearly full extension is the hardest movement to do with a messed-up elbow, and freestyle consists of an awful lot of that. One hour trainer ride today with some high Z3 intervals. As I suspected, I am in pretty sucky shape for anything above about 80%. Just haven't gone there since February. Ugh. |
