Another repeat of the same set. Busy pool again, too. I failed only on rep 16 of the 50m set, but wasn’t unhappy as my times are really starting to get back to where they were now — I had … Continue reading →

Same set as last week today, but in a far busier pool. I wonder how many are on their post-Christmas fitness binge and will run out of steam over the next couple of weeks… Another improvement on my previous session, … Continue reading →

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 →
