Felt a little garbage-y this morning so the swim was a struggle, but a good set to loosen up and get a little bit of speed with more rest. Enjoy!

I did this swim on Wednesday (the only swim I got in this week unfortunately) and didn't have a lot of time so I went straight into it without warmup... I suggest a warmup if you have time!

Today's workout brought to you by Coach Paul. I have to say I'm a sprinter who hates sprint workouts, so all this fast stuff was not my jam, but good yardage! Choice warmup (I did 100, I was a little late) Pre-set (1800): 2X [ 1x200 swim @ 3:00 8x50 odd - fr @ :50 even build choice @ 1:00 1x100 swim @ 1:30 8x25 @ :30 1-4 kick 5-8 variable speed Main (2400): 12x100 @ 1:40 #1,4,7,10 are fast choice stroke, all other active recovery (I went 2 fr, 1 IM) 1x400 pull 12x50 @ :50 Same pattern as 100's (I did IM order on the fast) 1x200 warm down - 50fr/50bk/50fr/50 DAB Total: 4200 + warm up (4300 total for me) www.thelaneline.comInstagram
Hey all - sharing the full set I intended to do today if I'd had more time, but I had to cut it short. This is a go-to workout for me when I haven't planned, you can easily change it up based on what you're feeling for the day. Only had 45 min today so I wasn't able to finish but I'll post the whole workout. 1x500 Warmup (100 fr, 25 stroke RIMO) 2x400 pull @ 5:20 3x300 kick @ 4:30 w/ fins 1: first 100 fast, the rest smooth 2: middle 100 fast, the rest smooth 3: last 100 fast, the rest smooth 4x200 @ 3:00 odd - IM even - FR 5x100 free @ 1:15 Total: 3500 * I had to stop after the 4x200 and just do 100 easy cool down because my 45 min were up, but if you have time, keep the 100's! My total today was 3100 scy. www.thelaneline.com Instagram
I took a trek out to a different pool today because a masters friend of mine said it was $1 to swim and there are usually 20 open lanes with no time limit. He was right, and it was nice to actually have time to take breaks and warm down between sets. It's a little far so I don't think it's an everyday solution, but it was nice to not be rushed for once. Warmup (1000): 2X [ 200 swim @ 3:00 150 k/d/s by 50 @ 2:20 100 IM drill @ 1:40 50 build free @ 1:00 Main (2200): 2X [1st round no equipment, 2nd round fins Broken 400/300/200/100 as: 300 swim, rest :20, 100 strong (80%) @ 6:00 225 swim, rest :15, 75 strong (85%) @ 4:30 150 swim, rest :10, 50 strong (90%) @ 3:00 75 swim, rest :05, 25 all out fast @ 1:30 100 easy Descend the 100/75/50/25 from strong to all out effort Rest 1-2 min between sets Total: 3200 www.thelaneline.com TTL on IG
Late post from Saturday's masters workout. It was a cold day but the pool was great - this workout credit goes to our masters coach, not me, but in the spirit of logging everything in 2021 here it is. If you get a proper warmup, this will be 5k + Warmup: Choice 10-15 min (I only did 100 because I got there late) Pre-set (1650): 3X[ 3x100 @ 1:30/1:25/1:20 by round - swim 3x50 @ :50 drill 100 smooth @ 2:00 Main (3000): 3X[ 1st round no equipment, 2nd round fins, 3rd round choice equipment (I did IM) 3x200 @ 3:00 desc 1-3 6x50 kick @ 1:00 odd easy, even fast 100 smooth @ 2:00 (built in rest between rds) choice warmdown (We were out of time so I just did a 50 to round it up to 4800) Total: 4650 + warmup & warmdown www.thelaneline.com TTL on IG

Most of my workouts these days are made for 45 min time slots, because that's what I get right now at my Y pool, so if you have more time, I'd suggest extending the warmup and warm down! I've struggled in these covid times with short warmups - I'm too old not to warm up! Here is today's workout, total 2900 scy - about 45 min. Enjoy!

Happy New Year! I haven't been posting a lot of swim workouts in the past few months because of short and uncertain pool times, but I'm vowing to change that this year.
