More DIY pace clock ideas for USRPT sets
I was thinking about using my DIY pace clock for USRPT sets this evening and an enhancement occurred to me. It should be possible to add a set of LEDs or something similar to the face of the clock that … Continue reading
Plans for a DIY pace clock
The pool I coach at (run by the ironically-branded “Better”) has two place clocks. One has not worked since August 2017 and I initially reported the problem at the start of September 2017. It’s awkward with just one because it … Continue reading
Swimming, 31st January 2018
A repeat of yesterday’s USRPT set today, though only 400m for the warm-up as I was getting a little tight on time otherwise: 400m front crawl warm-up 25 x 50m front crawl, target time 60s, rest interval 25s 200m front … Continue reading
Swimming, 30th January 2018
Had to skip Monday. The cellar is being tanked out and split into several rooms and I needed to be around to sort out some details with the builder. More of that in another post or several. Today I managed … Continue reading
Swimming, 26th January 2018
Shorter session today — the schools are back in the pool and there’s not as much time on Fridays. Just 1,900m today. Distance this year: 15,800m
Swimming, 25th January 2018
Another 2km today. Perhaps a little faster than earlier in the week, so that’s looking positive. Could be back to old ways soon, hopefully. Distance this year: 13,900m
Swimming, 24th January 2018
Another 2km today. Still far from easy, but not a nightmare either. Distance this year: 11,900m
Swimming, 23rd January 2018
Had to take another week off as I clearly wasn’t properly recovered from whatever it was that hit me during December. Starting to feel better now though. 2km of gentle swimming to try to get used to the whole thing … Continue reading
Swimming, 11th January 2018
And another 2km today. Utterly exhausted by the end of it. I think perhaps I still wasn’t ready to get back into the pool. Distance this year: 7,900m
Swimming, 10th January 2018
Another tough 2km today. Feeling quite tired at the end, and it wasn’t fast, either 🙁 Distance this year: 5,900m
