2000 yards. I tried the swim fins with yesterday's workout - it led me to have weird cramps in my toes and calf muscles. Today, thankfully, no kicking was prescribed. Just a few mixed sets of regular freestyle. It was warm and uncrowded today, wait 'til next week when all the schools are out and … Continue reading No kicks after therapy

My aquatic endeavors explained…
2000 yards. I did all of the kicking with a set of cut fins, they fit way too tight which made that uncomfortable. I did the intervals prescribed, but only waited 15 secs between them. That should help! Warmup Set (400y) 100 kick easy @ 0:10 rest, 100 kick moderate @ 0:10 rest, 50 kick … Continue reading Some meaningful intervals

2000 yds. Having relied upon the new TriFaster app to generate a workout for me, I went through the suggested warmup - main set - cooldown. i completely noticed a difference swimming with time and distance as a factor! I was going along faster trying to "earn" more of a rest in between each intervals. … Continue reading The new app works!
2000 yards. With the new TriFaster app, I have to start with a baseline time trial result so it can build my workouts. I did that today, a 500 yard swim in 9:20. I first swam 500 freestyle to get warm and in a mood for more. Then I did the 500 TT. Then 250 … Continue reading Timed. Like it or not.
2200 yards. Carolyn gave me a workout to follow from the TriFaster iPhone app, which I purchased myself as a result. I found it very interesting to be following a plan vs just slapping 2000 yards of self-imposed boredom. Here's the workout... Warmup Set (400m) 4 x [4 x 25 @ 0:35] Main Set (1400m) … Continue reading With a purpose!
2000 yards. I swam today and did the usual freestyle for all short course laps. I had a guy next to me that I thought was slow, but he was going faster than me! At lap 32 of 40, I decided to stay at least with him. It looked at his pace that I would … Continue reading Getting a slight bit faster.
2000 yards. How is it that I can run 30 miles, ride all day, but kick so poorly in the water? Today I did about 200 yards of kicking. What silliness! A very good swimming girl was next to me, her whole leg from the hip moved rapidly when she kicks. For me, it feels … Continue reading Keep kicking
