Alive With Sport

Given my recent rant about the uselessness of boring swim workouts*, I find it interesting to note that the main set from this morning’s swim workout was based on only 100m’s. BUT it was certainly not boring. It was probably one of the harder swim workouts that I’ve ever done. Given that I was never a swim club kid, I’m still in a bit of shock that I can swim these paces, repetitively.

Main Set = Speed Work
1×100m @ 1:45 on 2:10
2×100m @ 1:40 on 2:10
3×100m @ 1:35 on 2:10
1 min rest
3×100m @ 1:30 on 2:30
2×100m @ 1:25 on 2:30
1×100m @ 1:20 or faster

There was also a bunch of warm-up/cool-down stuff in this workout with the total distance up around 2700m. Good stuff for a Friday morning. Now that the school term is over (which means the end of Thursday evening classes), I’m looking forward more energy at these Friday swims.

*luckily, this rant was not recorded anywhere – except perhaps, by poor Torbin who had to listen to me spout off last weekend… but once I let it out, I don’t think it stuck around for too long.
