I still haven't sat down to plan my training for the week. And it is obvious that I need to plan it for the next several weeks. My Mean Swim Coach let me sleep in a little longer today since I was off work and we went to the pool at 9:00 AM instead of 6:00 AM. Today's workout was a total of 1650m which consisted of my 450m warmup and a pyramid of freestyle to 300m (100m, 200m, 300m, 300m, 200m, 100m).
I still learning about all of this so I can't tell you why but once again today, I felt like I couldn't make it through the 200m and 300m while on Monday I swam 1000m+ continuously with no problem. Best I can tell, there is a fatigue factor that accumulates over the week. Accordingly, I have decided to take Thursday and Friday off from the pool. Next pool workout will be on Saturday.
Once again I had planned to get a bike in today. Temperatures were around 100 degrees again and I really felt like it was too hot. I may still set up my wind trainer or ride my airdyne before the end of the day inside but I may just as likely eat my Chinese food and take it easy.
My Mean Swim Coach is leaving tomorrow, so I will no longer have her in the pool with me to call me lazy. But she promises to e-mail me my weekly workouts and to do virtual chastisement as needed.
If you have questions, comments, suggestions, tips, or stories, I would love to hear them. Also, my Mean Swim Coach tells me that she would be willing to answer questions as well.
Happy 4th of July everyone! Stay safe!
