What a difference from yesterday! And despite having someone in the lane who was a bit of a mobile roadblock. Fast enough (just) to be there, but a fair bit slower than the fastest of us and with poor lane … Continue reading →

Today’s session was a bit of a struggle. I didn’t sleep well and it showed when the time came to find a bit of energy for swimming. The session wasn’t awful, just not particularly stunning. Most of the 50m reps … Continue reading →

Start of a new week, and having increased my interval for a couple of weeks after I was ill, I’m now starting to reduce it again. 20 x 50m freestyle, target 48s on an 85s interval recovery 25m freestyle, target … Continue reading →
