Still a bit tired today, but did 2km from the start all bilateral breathing and then 300m as 50s working on setting up the turn, basically working out where I need to breathe, or where I can breathe, such that … Continue reading →

I was still quite tired from yesterday’s session when I got to the pool today, but pushed on regardless and managed 2km with bilateral breathing after the first 250m, followed by 300m front crawl kick, but by that time I … Continue reading →
