Hammering it out

I will be maintiaining the gains I have made with my kick this past year but will again focus more toward the distances again.

As always I modify workouts based on how I feel a particular day, so yes I give in to the pain when appropriate. I like the long sets and paddles are my favorite toy.

    Felt really good today which was surprising, I really expected to hurt more from my weightlifting.

    Last night I gave my kids an easy set of 8x100@1:30 some did 8x75 instead and yet the ones I knew would get out with this ailment or that ailment after doing only 2 they did not disappoint me. So when they tried to return to their lanes mid set I told them all to go sit in the bleachers until it was over. Rude awakening. I think they will think twice about doing that again. Some of these kids can beat me in a 1650.

    So this old lady that is 3 times their age and has a bad back, doesn't recover well and carries too much extra weight did this workout this morning:

    500 Free
    500 Free kick w/zoomers every 3rd lap fast
    15x100 free w/paddles & bouy
    #1-5@1:35 held 1:22's
    #6-9@1:30 held 1:21's
    #10-12@1:25 held 1:20's
    #13-14@1:20 held 1:18's
    #15@1:15 went 1:18 still trying to make that one
    5x100@:15RI #1 back, #2 breast kick, #3 fly 1 arm drill, #4 breast pull, #5 back
    500 w/snorkle as 200 free/50 kick/200 free/50 kick

    Total 3500 yards
