5/2 Practice

5/2/2013

0 Comments

 
Warmup: 800 choice
Kick: 300 breast
Drill: 8 x 25 back, alternating easy & strong
Sprint: 1 x 200 freestyle... on the watch
     as fast as possible, broken exactly :10 each 50
Swim: 8 x 100 free, holding 1:20 (on 1:45 sendoff)
Warmdown: 10 minutes drill



Practice Notes:
Warmup felt a bit rough. Breaststroke kicking went fine. Backstroke drilling felt pretty good.
Broken 200 was 2:37.0
100's rough at first due to hard sprinting prior, smoothed out later. 1:45 sendoff felt luxurious. Kept them a few seconds below 1:20, except for the last, which was 1:12.
Warmdown as per usual.
Will rest tomorrow and swim on Saturday.

5/1 practice

5/1/2013

0 Comments

 
Warmup: 4 x [100 free, 50 back, 50 breast]
Drill: 8 x 25 fly, with fins, smooth (:20 rest)
Sprint: 6 x 15 yards at FULL SPEED + 10y ez (:30 rest)
Swim: 8 x 200 freestyle, steady @ threshold pace (:15 rest)
Warmdown: 10 minutes


Practice Notes:
Pretty good practice. Interesting. 200's taught me that I am still feeling the effects of my exertions last weekend.
Warmup felt good. Fly drilling felt particularly strong and smooth. Sprints felt good, too; fast and strong.
200's: Started out feeling pretty strong and gradually tailed off. Usually I get stronger as this sort of set progresses, but today I could definitely feel my arms flagging a little more with each repeat. First four were on 2:50 sendoff, then went to 2:55 for next 3 and 3:00 for the last. Times gradually fell from 1:32 on the first to 1:42 on the last.

    Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.
