Middle-distance Thursday
Felt like crap when my alarm went off at 4:50 yesterday, so I reset the alarm for eight hours later and didn't wake up until I heard the buzz.
This morning:
Long, very miscellaneous warm-up -- at least 600 yards
4x50 on 1:00
2x200 IM on 3:15
2x200 IM on 3:10
2x200 IM on 3:05
2x200 IM on 3:10
2x200 IM on 3:15
2x200 IM on 3:20
I repeated all of them on the 2:50.
6x75 on 1:00 (repeated :54)
Stayed in the pool for a big longer to get some extra yards. They weren't high intensity, but I just needed to get at least another mile under my belt.
100 free easy
4x100 fly on 1:50 (repeated 1:35)
4x100 back on 1:40 (repeated 1:30)
4x100 free on 1:20
4x50 breast pull with paddles and buoy
100 free cool-down
Total yardage: 5250
This was prettymuch a perfectly-swum workout. I repeated the same on the IMs regardless on interval and somehow managed to not puke during the 75s, which was by no means a given -- especially since I was keeping up with Mimi and Jack. I'm trying to keep the intensity, uhm, intense since my swimming schedule is kind of erratic, but if I can go to Nationals or Worlds I want to know that I at least trained my hardest.
