Swimming, 24th May 2019
I don’t know why I type this any more 😀 400m f/c warm-up 24 x 50m f/c, target time 50s, turnaround 70s 200m swim down I felt quite tired today so I wasn’t sure how things would go. I certainly … Continue reading
Swimming, 23 May 2019
And again… 400m f/c warm-up 24 x 50m f/c, target time 50s, turnaround 70s 200m swim down A little better again today. First fail on rep fifteen, then things got a bit messed up, I think because I misread the … Continue reading

Getting a touch bored with this now, but I need to keep on. 400m f/c warm-up 24 x 50m f/c, target time 50s, turnaround 70s 200m swim down A little better than yesterday. First fail on rep thirteen today, and … Continue reading

And once more, with feeling… 400m f/c warm-up 24 x 50m f/c, target time 50s, turnaround 70s 200m swim down I struggled today. I ended up swimming next to a one-man wave machine and I couldn’t really get settled in. … Continue reading
Swimming, 16th May 2019
Here we go again: 400m f/c warm-up 24 x 50m f/c, target time 50s, turnaround 70s 200m swim down I could feel fatigue in my arms during my warm-up today. I didn’t think it was going to be a great … Continue reading
Swimming, 14th May 2019
And once again… 400m f/c warm-up 24 x 50m f/c, target time 50s, turnaround 70s 200m swim down Felt reasonably comfortable today and whilst I had one rep over 50s in the first five whilst I was finding the pace, … Continue reading
