So today was try #2 at my swim training again. After my first
attempt last week, I was a little down on myself for not keeping up my swim fitness over the offseason. I kept my expectations low this time, hoping to swim at least equal to the 1200 yards I swam last time.
Today, I decided to focus on the drills I worked on all last year. My workout consisted of:
- 200 yard warm up
- 2 x 50 yards fist drill
- 2 x 50 yards catch up
- 2 x 50 yards 10/10 drill
- 2 x 50 yards recovery focus
- 2 x 50 yards strong pulls
- 2 x 50 yards perfect form
- 4 x 25 yards sprint
- 500 yard cool down
- Total distance: 1400 yards
I'm happy that I was able to moderately increase my yardage. Because our bodies quickly get back the fitness we can lose so easily, I think my body just needs a few weeks of "swim shock" to get it back into previous shape. While my yards are increasing, my swim endurance needs to increase significantly. So I shall continue to hit the pool often in the hope that my body remembers was it once like to easily swim a mile.
Glad to start off the week on a high note ;)
