Bit of a tricky session today. I took my son with me to swim and with the other people in the lane it became a bit scrappy in terms of timing reps, so in the end I gave up and … Continue reading →

For the first time that I can recall there were five people (including myself) in the fast lane today, but the difference between the fastest and slowest was probably ten seconds per 50m which made for a bit of a … Continue reading →

I was very pleased with today’s session. Everything just seemed to come together for the 50m reps and I managed four below 43 seconds, with all but three of the rest below 44 seconds. And even those three weren’t exactly … Continue reading →

My 50m set went pretty well today, though it felt as though I was pushing quite hard. I ended up with six 43s reps and all the others below 45s. I didn’t get as much recovery time as I’d have … Continue reading →
