50-minute swim workout, sprint emphasis, 4-9-21
I meant to post this yesterday, but life happens sometimes. Hopefully, you'll find some inspiration. This isn't a true sprint set. It's really more about endurance and pushing yourself hard. Some days, this set would be fairly easy. It wasn't as easy as I would've...

Another day, another swim workout. I'm so lucky to have access to a pool this close to my house. Today was stroke technique emphasis. I like to mix it up. And it was. As always, be sure to adjust to your interval speed, mix and match from other workouts and just alter...

Today was mid-distance day. Honestly, mid-distance is one of my favorite workouts. I like the challenge of pushing myself just a little bit past the 100 mark and see what I can maintain and if I can descend. Sometimes, my goal is to descend by one...

I'm back to swimming solo again now that my local pool has reopened. I'll be swimming with the team once a week on Sundays, but the rest of it will be me, myself, and I. Not nearly as much fun, but I'm in the pool and that's all that matters. As you can tell, this is...

When I swim with SCAQ, we swim 5 per lane, 3 on one side and 2 on the other. Yesterday, there were only 3 of us in the lane. I'm sure tomorrow will be packed as Sunday, the pool is closed for Easter. Come Monday, I'll be back to my solo 50-minute swims. 60-minute swim...

Today, I swam with the master's team. When I swim with them, I'm in the 1:30 hundred pace lane. Last Sunday, I did the same and managed to convince someone else to lead. I must say the draft was lovely. LOL She refused to lead today, so it fell to me. However, the...
