I swam next to a buddy today. It was a good swim. Although the yardage was less, in part because Clay likes to give us stroke tips. (He even recorded my stroke with comments. He’s good that way.) The 100s are the end are meant to be sprint-ish. I was happy to maintain better than 1:18, even though I felt my stroke falling apart at the end. I kept reminding myself to stretch out and “relax”. There is a lot of mental in it.
This workout should be fairly easy to adjust for your speed and fitness level.
