Did an early am swim at FMAC since my daughter would be home again today with the stomach virus. Was tempted to do a straight hour swim but I will be doing the one hour postal this weekend and want to be fresh for that. Did all the strokes and some speed work.

    Are you swimming solo? You write some really nice workouts.

    Thanks, coming from you it is nice to hear. I have lots of admiration and respect for your HIT workouts.

    I swim solo almost all the time. The local USAS and USMS groups provide early am sessions or evening pm sessions that do not work with my professional and family commitments. My workouts are based on previous experiences, what I am reading from the USMS forums & blogs, as well as personal experimentation the last ten months. I also have a coach who I work with once a week or every two weeks who will provide splits and feedback on some of the sets as well as email workout ideas. The focus has been the OW 5K, but when my progress became incremental with mostly distance sets, I added more speed sets because I wanted to swim faster and improve more.
