I totally nailed it in the pool today. I can't really explain why I felt so strong in the pool today other than it was just meant to be. I guess all the planets were in total alignment for me today, pushing me forward to a much stronger, relaxed and more graceful stroke. I really felt like for the first time in ages that my swim is 70.3 ready.
My arms were just cutting through the water with minimal effort. I had a total feel for the water that I have not felt before. Could this be the beginning of an awesome 6 months of training. I think so. This is going to be so exciting. Even though I had 1 1/2 days off for rest I still think I am making really good progress and this is only after 3 weeks on my program.
As per my Set B program, it called for a 3.5km. This sort of distance doesn't really bother me anymore. It's almost comforting to know that I can knock these sets out without too much effort now.

- 400m Warm up
- 6 x 50m drills with 15 sec rest
- 4 x 500m - 1st 100m hard (I did them all between 1:15 & 1:17) the following 400m aerobic.
- 8 x 50m (odds hard, evens easy)
- 400m cool down
Awesome. I love GOOD training days where you feel like a natural. Could it be that the prescription from Dr. Daddy Diesel and Nurse Mahoney worked?
ReplyDeleteI love when the planets align when I train and the cherry on top with a compliment
ReplyDeleteNice work
HAHAHA I am glad Q labelled me the Doc and not the nurse
Great work in the pool!
