A repeat of yesterday’s set: 400m front crawl warm-up 25 x 50m front crawl, target time 60s, rest interval 20s 200m front crawl swim down And another successful completion! Managed a few 47s, mostly 48s and I think one 49 … Continue reading
Swimming, 6th February 2018
Had a bit of a domestic emergency yesterday that meant I didn’t have time to swim (although I came close to needing to swim in my own kitchen!), so today was my first attempt at my next USRPT set: 400m … Continue reading
Swimming, 2nd February 2018
Did my best to repeat the same USRPT session of previous days, but I was late getting to the pool for the hour it’s open to the public between swim schools, so I cut my warm-up short and even then … Continue reading

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

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
