Another small improvement today — I’m up to 46s for the 50m reps, though still working off the 90s interval. My 25m reps were a mix of 18s and 19s too. I can live with that for the time being.

I can stagger about a bit now the antibiotics are having an effect, so this afternoon I was doing odd jobs in the garden to stave off the boredom and when I was taking my shoes off to come in … Continue reading →

Or rather, not swimming, 7th June 🙁 I was out in the garden after lunch on Saturday when suddenly many of my major muscles starting convulsing, to the point where it was painful and I had to drop to all-fours … Continue reading →

Writing some time after the event, this isn’t a session I can remember too well thanks to what’s happened since. Hopefully that will be a one-off.

Something of a nondescript session today. I wonder if I’m getting to the stage where I’m not going to get any faster for the time being.
