Today was stroke technique day. Since Monday was IM day, I figured I'd just do some IM stroke technique to mix things up a bit. So, there I was working through it. Honestly, past 25 yards, I don't have a sprint fly. Okay, I don't have a sprint fly. I have 2 fly MOs:...

This was a relatively uncomplicated swim set today. Well, compared to yesterday. As I’d been out for the past week, I decided the longest distance I needed to do (besides the 500 warmup) was a 200. If the facility where you swim still limits you to 50 minutes, you can...

Today, I had a pleasant surprise. The local pool has extended the swim time by five minutes. I didn’t find out until I was climbing out of the pool and Mary, the lifeguard, told us. Of course, I jumped back in and swam an easy 50 before I did one last sprint. That’s...

As you may have noticed, if you even came by, I’ve been gone for an entire week. We went on vacation. No, I didn’t swim, if you don’t count traversing the Narrows in Zion National Park. Although I did get up to secure my swim slots early that first Monday morning,...

I was six minutes late getting in today (my fault), so my workout was cut short, but I still managed to get some true sprinting in at the end. 50-minute swim workout, sprint 400 warmup (~5:45 min) Warmup set 3x (600 yds, 11 min) 100 on 1:40 4 x 25 on :30–2 breaths/lap...

Even though I was still editing, I wanted to do some stroke technique. However, due to the number of people in the pool, I had to share the lane with two other people. That’s fine, but it does make it hard to work on technique. (Shrug) I did get some technique work in...

It’s been a busy few days of editing, so I’m behind uploading my workouts. My brain was a little tired from all of the editing (scientific papers). This is why this workout was so simple. I didn’t want to have to think too much. Alas, I didn’t swim that fast either....

We started out with three people in our lane, but then the staff opened up more lanes, so we split. However, by the time that had happened, I was already into my main set. There was no going back at that point. 50-minute swim workout, Tuesday fun 500 warmup (~7:15...

Although I swam a backstroke workout on Sunday, yesterday was my regularly scheduled backstroke day, so I did some more. I mean, why not? Someone did try to get in with my “partner” and I and force us to circle swim. Any other day? Sure. On backstroke day? No. He...

I haven’t been posting for a couple of days. So, there will be a few in a row with little to no explanation, which might suit my audience (the crickets) anyway. (Grin) 60-minute swim workout, SCAQ Sunday Coach Bill Bean 400 warmup (~6:30 min) Warmup set (600 yds, ?...
