I’ve decided to pull for one more week, then I’ll be back to swimming with a kick again. I wasn’t nearly as fast today as yesterday, but it was still a good swim. Perhaps if I’d had rest between the sets, it would’ve made a difference, but we were once again let in late, and I essentially started the next set when the interval was up. Yesterday, I was a beast; today, I was just hanging in there. LOL
You can take this set and do more with it than I did. I just swam it, but if I’d felt I had more in the tank, I might have said, “Okay, for set one, I’ll focus on the 100s and the 50s. For set two, I’ll work the 150s and the 75s. For set three, maybe the 75s and 25s. With set four being whatever I had left.” In other words, massage the sets to give them more purpose than just putting in the yards.
Be sure to adjust the workout as you need.
