A different kind of stroke technique focus today. Mixing it throughout the workout does make it more challenging. I don’t know if it was more fatiguing physically or mentally. Either way, I was pushing to hit faster times at the end. Perhaps not the goal. (sigh) I seem to do better with thee distance workouts. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.
If you’re coming onto my blog for the first time looking for a 50-minute swim workout that isn’t geared for beginners or high-level collegiate/Olympic swimmers, please know that these intervals and sets are designed for me, my fitness level, and speed. If you’re faster than me, please adjust the intervals, increase the reps/set as needed. If you’re slower than me, do the opposite. Tailor the workout to fit you. Above all, have fun. Swimming is my happy place and keeps me sane. If it’s stressing you out, adjust. 🙂
