Swimming yesterday

Today is a rest day  so I only had to measure my Resting HR - 55 (big improvement over a couple of weeks ago!!!)

Yesterday was a swim set - same as the previous week and just as hard but for different reasons! I had to contend with a reaction to my H1N1 jab and also aching triceps from the gym session. Anyway the set looked like this

400m. (3 lengths front 1 length back repeat x 4)
5 x 100m (1L catch-up, 1L single arm, 1L single arm, 1L count strokes)
6 x 100m @ RPE 12-14, maintain stroke count off 2:00mins.
1 x 100 (1L count strokes, 1L catch up, 1 1/2 lengths finger trail into normal swimming for remaining 1/2 length)

2 x 200 @ (1L easy long stroke "best stroke count", 1L strong effort "maintain stroke count" repeat for 200m)
200m c/d.
TOTAL 2.2km

Focusing on executing the drills as well as possible.



I maintaned 18/19 stroke/length on the RPE12 set and on the 200m set I was holding 16 strokes/length
