I didn’t get a very good night’s sleep last night and was feeling really quite tired, but forced myself to swim anyhow. Pleasingly I managed twelve reps at 50m before my only failure. No real improvement on the 25s though.

Yes, same set again 🙂 Today I didn’t fail on the first set until rep fourteen, so again an improvement on the previous session, despite feeling tired again. Sadly the 25s were again a disaster. As long as I keep … Continue reading →
