Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - MidwestOK I'm officially insane.
Yesterday I did 6300 meters. I got to thinking that when people do the ironman thats more than 2 miles right? I can do that. Here was my set:
200 warm
2 x 650
1 x 4000
1 x 800
Heres the part that makes me insane; I wanted to do 4 miles even, which is 6600 meters. I messed up the math and stoped 300 short! What an idiot. (I was really pretty weary, the lifeguard actually asked me if I was ok ).
I've been focusing on the length of my stroke. I stretch way out and push it really far back, accelerating toward the end. This has lowered my heart rate and coresponding breathing rate, making me feel like I'm out for a walk in the park. |
